Comments and Description Text from UniProtKB
ID:RTEL1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1; EC=3.6.4.12; AltName: Full=Novel helicase-like; FUNCTION: ATP-dependent DNA helicase required to suppress inappropriate homologous recombination, thereby playing a central role DNA repair and in the maintenance of genomic stability. Antagonizes homologous recombination by promoting the disassembly of D loop recombination intermediates. Also required to regulate telomere length; probably due to its anti-recombinase function. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (By similarity). MISCELLANEOUS: Amplified in gastric tumors. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the helicase family. RAD3/XPD subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=CAI17958.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Sequence=CAM25345.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction;

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
