Entrez gene ID | 641 |
Official gene symbol | BLM |
Full name | Bloom syndrome, RecQ helicase-like |
Aliases | ,BS,MGC126616,MGC131618,MGC131620,RECQ2,RECQL2,RECQL3, |
Gene summary | The 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.
