Pif1 - PIF1 5'-to-3' DNA helicase

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; helicase activity; and magnesium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA duplex unwinding; DNA replication; and negative regulation of DNA biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA recombination and DNA repair. Located in mitochondrion and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including body cavity or lining; integumental system; thymus; ventricular layer; and vertebral axis musculature. Orthologous to human PIF1 (PIF1 5'-to-3' DNA helicase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
