MeSH definition : A DNA-dependent helicase and 3'-5' exonuclease. It has 3'- 5' exonuclease activity
towards double-stranded DNA with a 5'-overhang and binds preferentially to DNA substrates
containing alternate secondary structures, such as replication forks and HOLLIDAY
JUNCTIONS. Mutations in the WRN gene are associated with WERNER SYNDROME.;
MeSH synonym : Helicase, Werner Syndrome; Werner Syndrome ATP-Dependent Helicase; Werner Syndrome ATP Dependent Helicase; RECQL2 Protein; Werner Syndrome RecQ-Like Helicase; Werner Syndrome RecQ Like Helicase; RECQ3 Protein;
Registry Number MeSH : EC 3.6.4.12;
