Recombinant Human DNA repair protein REV1 (REV1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q9UBZ9

Target Species

Human

Target Name

REV1

Target Full Name

DNA repair protein REV1

Target Function

Deoxycytidyl transferase involved in DNA repair. Transfers a dCMP residue from dCTP to the 3'-end of a DNA primer in a template-dependent reaction. May assist in the first step in the bypass of abasic lesions by the insertion of a nucleotide opposite the lesion. Required for normal induction of mutations by physical and chemical agents.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

DNA polymerase type-Y family

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous.

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein with similarity to the S. cerevisiae mutagenesis protein Rev1. The Rev1 proteins contain a BRCT domain, which is important in protein-protein interactions. A suggested role for the human Rev1-like protein is as a scaffold that recruits DNA polymerases involved in translesion synthesis (TLS) of damaged DNA.
