| Function |
Involved in DNA non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). May act as a scaffold required to stabilize the Ku heterodimer, composed of XRCC5/Ku80 and XRCC6/Ku70, at DNA ends and thus promote assembly and/or stability of the NHEJ machinery at double- strand break (DSB) sites. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25574025}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25574025}. Note=Predominantly localizes to the nucleus. Accumulates at sites of DNA damage generated by laser microirradiation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25574025}.
