|
| Function |
Unwinds duplex DNA with 5'-3' polarity. Has single- strand DNA-dependent ATPase and DNA helicase activities. Prefers ATP and dATP as substrates. During S phase, may facilitate cellular recovery from replication stress. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12181327, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22194613}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Note=Preferentially during S phase, recruited to chromatin following DNA damage induced by UV irradiation, or camptothecin or hydroxyurea treatment.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in testis and thymus and weakly in liver, spleen, kidney and brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12181327}.
