Summary: This gene encodes a single-stranded DNA-binding protein that is the 30-kDa subunit of the replication protein A complex. Replication protein A is an essential factor for DNA double-strand break repair and cell cycle checkpoint activation. The encoded protein localizes to DNA repair foci and may be involved in the cellular DNA damage response. This protein may also play a role in inhibiting viral replication.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]

What's a GeneRIF?

Findings provide the first direct evidence for the function of alternative form of RPA in human DNA metabolism and support a model for aRPA functioning in chromosome maintenance functions in nonproliferating cells.
Title: An alternative form of replication protein a expressed in normal human tissues supports DNA repair.
Results suggest that RPA4 cannot support cell proliferation but can support processes that maintain the genomic integrity of the cell.
Title: A naturally occurring human RPA subunit homolog does not support DNA replication or cell-cycle progression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
