BRCA2 DNA repair associated

यह BRCA2 gene provides instructions for making a protein that acts as a tumour suppressor. Tumour suppressor proteins help prevent cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way.

Normal function

यह BRCA2 gene provides instructions for making a protein that acts as a tumour suppressor. Tumour suppressor proteins help prevent cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way.

The BRCA2 protein is involved in repairing damaged DNA. In the nucleus of many types of normal cells, the BRCA2 protein interacts with several other proteins to mend breaks in DNA. These breaks can be caused by natural and medical radiation or other environmental exposures, and they also occur when chromosomes exchange genetic material in preparation for cell division. By helping to repair DNA, the BRCA2 protein plays a critical role in maintaining the stability of a cell's genetic information.

Researchers suspect that the BRCA2 protein has additional functions within cells. For example, the protein may help regulate cytokinesis, which is the step in cell division when the fluid surrounding the nucleus (the cytoplasm) divides to form two separate cells. Researchers are investigating the protein's other potential activities.
