Gene information for BLM (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID641
Official gene symbolBLM
Full nameBloom syndrome, RecQ helicase-like
Aliases,BS,MGC126616,MGC131618,MGC131620,RECQ2,RECQL2,RECQL3,
Gene summaryThe Bloom syndrome gene product is related to the RecQ subset of DExH box-containing DNA helicases and has both DNA-stimulated ATPase and ATP-dependent DNA helicase activities. Mutations causing Bloom syndrome delete or alter helicase motifs and may disable the 3'-5' helicase activity. The normal protein may act to suppress inappropriate recombination. [provided by RefSeq]
