Werner (WRN) protein is one of the five human RecQDNA helicases, which unwinds DNA for translocation. WRN has a functional exonuclease domain. WRN protein protects human from cancer; as well as, premature aging. When the gene coding for WRN is mutated a autosomal recessive disorder causing rapid aging(osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and cancer). This is known as Werner syndrome which appears at puberty.
