TSN (gene)

Translin is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the TSN is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a DNA-binding protein which specifically recognizes conserved target sequences at the breakpoint junction of chromosomal translocations. Translin polypeptides form a multimeric structure that is responsible for its DNA-binding activity. Recombination-associated motifs and translin-binding sites are present at recombination hotspots and may serve as indicators of breakpoints in genes which are fused by translocations. These binding activities may play a crucial role in chromosomal translocation in lymphoid neoplasms.

Interactions
TSN (gene) has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::PPP1R15A.
