gene: rad-50 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable G-quadruplex DNA binding activity; double-stranded telomeric DNA binding activity; and single-stranded telomeric DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromosome organization and nucleic acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in condensed nuclear chromosome. Predicted to be part of Mre11 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in invasive ductal carcinoma and transitional cell carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human RAD50 (RAD50 double strand break repair protein).
