Recql4 - RecQ like helicase 4

Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and DNA helicase activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA unwinding involved in DNA replication; double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and telomeric D-loop disassembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of sister chromatid cohesion; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in chromosome, telomeric region. Predicted to be active in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Baller-Gerold syndrome; Rothmund-Thomson syndrome; and rapadilino syndrome. Orthologous to human RECQL4 (RecQ like helicase 4).
