MeSH definition : Eukaryotic homolog of the bacterial MutL DNA MISMATCH REPAIR protein. It heterodimerizes
with MISMATCH REPAIR ENDONUCLEASE PMS2 to form MutL alpha, which is recruited to DNA
mismatch sites by the MUTS DNA MISMATCH-BINDING PROTEIN. Mutations in the human MLH1
gene are associated with COLORECTAL NEOPLASMS, HEREDITARY NONPOLYPOSIS.;
