该基因编码的蛋白质是recq-deah螺旋酶家族的成员，与乳腺癌1型（brca1）的brct重复序列相互作用。结合复合体在1型乳腺癌（brca1）正常双链断裂修复功能中起重要作用。这个基因可能是生殖系癌症诱发突变的靶点。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RecQ DEAH helicase family and interacts with the BRCT repeats of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1). The bound complex is important in the normal double-strand break repair function of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1). This gene may be a target of germline cancer-inducing mutations.
