Structural highlights
Disease
[FANCM_HUMAN] Fanconi anemia. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[FANCM_HUMAN] ATPase required for FANCD2 ubiquitination, a key reaction in DNA repair. Binds to ssDNA but not to dsDNA. Recruited to forks stalled by DNA interstrand cross-links, and required for cellular resistance to such lesions.[1] [2] [REFERENCE:7][REFERENCE:8]
