Background
The protein encoded by this gene functions together with DNA ligase IV and the DNA-dependent protein kinase in the repair of DNA double-strand break by non-homologous end joining and the completion of V(D)J recombination events.The non-homologous end-joining pathway is required both for normal development and for suppression of tumors.This gene functionally complements XR-1 Chinese hamster ovary cell mutant, which is impaired in DNA double-strand breaks produced by ionizing radiation and restriction enzymes.Alternative transcription initiation and alternative splicing generates several transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq]
