Source: NCBI Gene (ID 12144)
Symbol: Blm
Full name: Bloom syndrome, RecQ like helicase
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Summary: Enables 3'-5' DNA helicase activity. Involved in G-quadruplex DNA unwinding and replication fork processing. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including DNA metabolic process; negative regulation of thymocyte apoptotic process; and regulation of DNA recombination. Located in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and mammary gland. Used to study Bloom syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Bloom syndrome. Orthologous to human BLM (BLM RecQ like helicase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
