This gene encodes a protein that functions in the DNA double-strand break repair pathway choice , promoting non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathways , and limiting homologous recombination. This protein plays multiple roles in the DNA damage response , including promoting checkpoint signaling following DNA damage , acting as a scaffold for recruitment of DNA damage response proteins to damaged chromatin , and promoting NHEJ pathways by limiting end resection following a double-strand break. These roles are also important during V (D) J recombination , class switch recombination and at unprotected telomeres. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq , Aug 2017]
