Summary: This gene encodes a member of the superfamily of recombinases (also called DNA strand-exchange proteins). Recombinases are important for repairing double-strand DNA breaks during mitosis and meiosis. This protein, which is evolutionarily conserved, is reported to be essential for meiotic homologous recombination and may thus play an important role in generating diversity of genetic information. In mouse, deficiency of this gene causes infertility. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]

In this study, we created a mouse model of a putative infertility allele, DMC1M200V. DMC1 encodes a RecA homolog essential for meiotic recombination and fertility in mice..we found that Dmc1M200V/M200V male and female mice are fully fertile and do not exhibit any gonadal abnormalities

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.

NR_103477.1 RNA Sequence

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks five alternate internal exons, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
