rtel-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; DNA helicase activity; and DNA polymerase binding activity. Involved in regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal recessive dyskeratosis congenita 5; high grade glioma (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human RTEL1 (regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1).
