Analysis of MRE11 Gene (Mutation) by RT-qPCR (CAT#: STEM-MT-2447-LGZ)

Introduction

Official Full Name: MRE11 homolog, double strand break repair nuclease<br />Also known as: ATLD; HNGS1; MRE11A; MRE11B<br />This gene encodes a nucleoprotein involved in homologous recombination, telomere length maintenance, and DNA double-strand break repair. The protein itself has 3'~5' exonuclease activity and endonuclease activity. This protein forms a complex with the RAD50 homologue; this complex is required for non-homologous joining of DNA ends with increased single-stranded DNA endonuclease and 3' to 5' exonuclease activity. Binding to DNA ligase, this protein facilitates the joining of non-complementary ends in vitro by exploiting short homology near the ends of DNA fragments. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 3. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
