ATR Gene Information

HGNC symbol
ATR 
Aliases
FRP1; MEC1; SCKL; SCKL1 
Common name
ATR serine/threonine kinase 
Entrez Id
545
Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a serine/threonine kinase and DNA damage sensor, activating cell cycle checkpoint signaling upon DNA stress. The encoded protein can phosphorylate and activate several proteins involved in the inhibition of DNA replication and mitosis, and can promote DNA repair, recombination, and apoptosis. This protein is also important for fragile site stability and centrosome duplication. Defects in this gene are a cause of Seckel syndrome 1. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017].
