    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA ligase (ATP) activity. Involved in double-strand break repair via alternative nonhomologous end joining and mitochondrion organization. Acts upstream of or within double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining; mitochondrial DNA repair; and negative regulation of DNA recombination. Located in synaptonemal complex. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human LIG3 (DNA ligase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    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.
