Gene information for KIN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database) |
Entrez gene ID | 22944 |
Official gene symbol | KIN |
Full name | KIN, antigenic determinant of recA protein homolog (mouse) |
Aliases | ,BTCD,KIN17, |
Gene summary | The protein encoded by this gene is a nuclear protein that forms intranuclear foci during proliferation and is redistributed in the nucleoplasm during the cell cycle. Short-wave ultraviolet light provokes the relocalization of the protein, suggesting its participation in the cellular response to DNA damage. Originally selected based on protein-binding with RecA antibodies, the mouse protein presents a limited similarity with a functional domain of the bacterial RecA protein, a characteristic shared by this human ortholog.
