LIG1 DNA ligase 1

Gene ID: 3978, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LIGI; IMD96; hLig1

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the ATP-dependent DNA ligase protein family. The encoded protein functions in DNA replication, recombination, and the base excision repair process. Mutations in this gene that lead to DNA ligase I deficiency result in immunodeficiency and increased sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents. Disruption of this gene may also be associated with a variety of cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
