Gene information for DUS2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID54920
Official gene symbolDUS2
Full namedihydrouridine synthase 2-like, SMM1 homolog (S. cerevisiae)
Aliases,DUS2L,SMM1,URLC8,
Gene summaryDihydrouridine synthase catalyzes reduction of the 5,6-double bond of a uridine residue on the displacement loop of tRNA. The resultant modified base, 5,6-dihydrouridine, appears to increase the conformational flexibility and dynamic motion of tRNA (Kato et al., 2005 [PubMed 15994936]).[supplied by OMIM]
