Gene: RUVBL2
Alternate names for this Gene: CGI-46|ECP-51|ECP51|INO80J|REPTIN|RVB2|TAP54-beta|TIH2|TIP48|TIP49B
Gene Summary: This gene encodes the second human homologue of the bacterial RuvB gene. Bacterial RuvB protein is a DNA helicase essential for homologous recombination and DNA double-strand break repair. Functional analysis showed that this gene product has both ATPase and DNA helicase activities. This gene is physically linked to the CGB/LHB gene cluster on chromosome 19q13.3, and is very close (55 nt) to the LHB gene, in the opposite orientation.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 19
Location in Chromosome : 19q13.33
Description of this Gene: RuvB like AAA ATPase 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
