Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA ligase (ATP) activity. Involved in double-strand break repair via alternative nonhomologous end joining and mitochondrion organization. Acts upstream of or within double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining; mitochondrial DNA repair; and negative regulation of DNA recombination. Located in synaptonemal complex. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 20 and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human LIG3 (DNA ligase 3).
