MSH6, GTBP, DNA mismatch repair protein Msh6, hMSH6, G/T mismatch-binding protein, GTBP, GTMBP, MutS-alpha 160 kDa subunit, p160
The DNA mismatch repair system (MMR) repairs post-replication DNA, inhibits recombination between nonidentical DNA sequences, and induces both checkpoint and apoptotic responses following certain types of DNA damage. MSH2 (MutS homologue 2) forms the hMutS-alpha dimer with MSH6 and is an essential component of the mismatch repair process.
