MutS protein homolog 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSH5 gene.[1][2][3][4]

This gene encodes a member of the mutS family of proteins that are involved in DNA mismatch repair or meiotic recombination processes. This protein is similar to a Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein that participates in meiotic segregation fidelity and crossing-over. This protein forms heterooligomers with another member of this family, mutS homolog 4. Alternative splicing results in four transcript variants encoding three different isoforms.[4]

Interactions

MSH5 has been shown to interact with MSH4.[2][5][6]
