NCIt synonyms : DNA Mismatch Repair Protein-PMS2; PMS1 Protein Homolog 2; DNA Mismatch Repair Protein PMS2; EC 3.1.-.-;
NCIt related terms : PMS2;
NCIt definition : Mismatch repair endonuclease PMS2 (862 aa, 96 kDa) is encoded by the human PMS2 gene.
This protein plays a role in DNA mismatch repair.;
NCIt note : PMS2 is part of the BASC genome surveillance complex. MSH2 and MLH1 interact with
PMS1, PMS2, and MSH6. Essential for repair of replication slippage errors, PMS2 is
a cloned gene for Turcot syndrome and Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer. Transcribed
from the opposite strand, JTV1 overlaps PMS2.;
