Preferred Label : DNA-Dependent Protein Kinase Complex;
NCIt synonyms : DNA-PK; DNA-Dependent Protein Kinase; DNA-PK Complex;
NCIt definition : A heterotrimeric complex of the DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit protein
(PRKDC or DNA-PKcs) and the Ku protein, which is a heterodimer composed of X-ray repair
cross-complementing proteins 5 and 6, XRCC5/Ku86 and XRCC6/Ku70, respectively. This
complex is involved in ribosome assembly, DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) required
for double-strand break (DSB) repair and V(D)J recombination, and serine/threonine
phosphorylation of proteins involved in DNA damage response/repair.;
