description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 3'-flap endonuclease activity. Predicted to contribute to crossover junction DNA endonuclease activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA metabolic process; mitotic intra-S DNA damage checkpoint signaling; and osteoblast proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA catabolic process and response to intra-S DNA damage checkpoint signaling. Predicted to be located in nuclear replication fork. Predicted to be part of Holliday junction resolvase complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus and replication fork. Used to study Marfan syndrome; arterial tortuosity syndrome; and pulmonary emphysema. Orthologous to human MUS81 (MUS81 structure-specific endonuclease subunit). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous and heterozygous null mice for one allele display increased tumor incidence and reduced life spans. Homozygous null mice for a second allele display normal life span and tumor incidence. [provided by MGI curators] |
