这个基因编码重组酶超家族的一个成员（也称为dna链交换蛋白）。重组酶对于修复有丝分裂和减数分裂过程中的双链DNA断裂具有重要意义这种蛋白质在进化上是保守的，被认为是减数分裂同源重组的关键，因此可能在产生遗传信息多样性方面发挥重要作用选择性剪接导致多个转录变体[由RefSeq提供，2013年5月]
This gene encodes a member of the superfamily of recombinases (also called DNA strand-exchange proteins). Recombinases are important for repairing double-strand DNA breaks during mitosis and meiosis. This protein, which is evolutionarily conserved, is reported to be essential for meiotic homologous recombination and may thus play an important role in generating diversity of genetic information. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
