About Mlh1

Summary

Enables chromatin binding activity and guanine/thymine mispair binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of isotype switching to IgA isotypes and positive regulation of isotype switching to IgG isotypes. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gamete generation; meiotic nuclear division; and nucleic acid metabolic process. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome and male germ cell nucleus. Part of MutLalpha complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; endocrine gland; genitourinary system; oral epithelium; and respiratory system. Used to study Lynch syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lynch syndrome (multiple); gastrointestinal system Cancer (multiple); lung cancer; mismatch repair Cancer syndrome; and sporadic breast Cancer. Orthologous to human MLH1 (mutL homolog 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
