XRCC2, Official Symbol XRCC2provided by HGNC Official Full Name X-ray repair cross complementing 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:12829 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000196584 MIM:600375; AllianceGenome:HGNC:12829 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as FANCU; POF17; SPGF50 Summary 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.
