Gene information for CHTF8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID54921
Official gene symbolCHTF8
Full nameCTF8, chromosome transmission fidelity factor 8 homolog (S. cerevisiae)
Aliases,CTF8,DERPC,FLJ20400,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a short protein that forms part of the Ctf18 replication factor C (RFC) complex that occurs in both yeast and mammals. The heteroheptameric RFC complex plays a role in sister chromatid cohesion and may load the replication clamp PCNA (proliferating cell nuclear antigen) onto DNA during DNA replication and repair. This gene is ubiquitously expressed and has been shown to have reduced expression in renal and prostate tumors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq]
