Msh5 - mutS homolog 5

Predicted to enable ATP-dependent activity, acting on DNA. Predicted to be involved in meiotic mismatch repair and reciprocal meiotic recombination. Predicted to act upstream of or within female gamete generation and homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis. Predicted to be located in synaptonemal complex. Predicted to be active in nuclear chromosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma and primary ovarian insufficiency 13. Orthologous to human MSH5 (mutS homolog 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
