{"symbol":"XRCC2","synonyms":["FANCU"],"name":"X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 2","description":"This gene encodes a member of the RecA/Rad51-related protein family that participates in homologous recombination to maintain chromosome stability and repair DNA damage. This gene is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination and it functionally complements Chinese hamster irs1, a repair-deficient mutant that exhibits hypersensitivity to a number of different DNA-damaging agents.
