HMCES

Chr 3

5-hydroxymethylcytosine binding, ES cell specific

Also known as: C3orf37, DC12, SRAPD1

Enables DNA-(abasic site) binding activity; protein-DNA covalent cross-linking activity; and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in interstrand cross-link repair; protein-DNA covalent cross-linking repair; and somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes. Is active in replication fork.
