DNA repair protein XRCC2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the XRCC2 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene encodes a member of the RecA/Rad51-related protein family that participates in homologous recombination to maintain chromosome stability and repair DNA damage. This gene is involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination and it functionally complements Chinese hamster irs1, a repair-deficient mutant that exhibits hypersensitivity to a number of different DNA-damaging agents.[3]

Interactions

XRCC2 has been shown to interact with RAD51L3,[4][5][6][7] Bloom syndrome protein[5] and RAD51C.[7][8]
