該基因編碼的蛋白質是recq-deah螺旋酶家族的成員，與乳腺癌1型（brca1）的brct重復序列相互作用。結合復合體在1型乳腺癌（brca1）正常雙鏈斷裂修復功能中起重要作用。這個基因可能是生殖系癌癥誘發突變的靶點。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RecQ DEAH helicase family and interacts with the BRCT repeats of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1). The bound complex is important in the normal double-strand break repair function of breast cancer, type 1 (BRCA1). This gene may be a target of germline cancer-inducing mutations.
