Mismatch repair endonuclease PMS2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PMS2 gene.[1]

This gene is one of the PMS2 gene family members which are found in clusters on chromosome 7. The product of this gene is involved in DNA mismatch repair. The protein forms a heterodimer with MLH1 and this complex interacts with MSH2 bound to mismatched bases. Defects in this gene are associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer, with Turcot syndrome, and are a cause of supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed.[2]

Interactions

PMS2 has been shown to interact with MLH1.[3][4][5]
