NCIt definition : DNA mismatch repair protein Msh2 (934 aa, 105 kDa) is encoded by the human MSH2 gene.
This protein is involved in DNA mismatch repair.;
NCIt note : MSH2 is part of the large multi-subunit BASC complex, containing ATM, BLM, BRCA1,
MSH6, MLH1, RAD50/MRE11/NBS1, and RFC1/RFC2/RFC4, which may sense abnormal DNA structures
and/or regulate post-replication repair. MSH2 protein also interacts with G/T binding
protein.; MSH2 is part of the heterodimeric MutS beta complex with MSH3. (UniProt);
