MSH5 Products

Description

This gene encodes a member of the mutS family of proteins that are involved in DNA mismatch repair or meiotic recombination processes. This protein is similar to a Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein that participates in meiotic segregation fidelity and crossing-over. This protein forms heterooligomers with another member of this family, mutS homolog 4. Alternative splicing results in four transcript variants encoding three different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]. Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 5' UTR and uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the coding region, compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (c) is shorter than isoform a. Publication Note: This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene. Please see the Entrez Gene record to access additional publications.
