Summary: Enables ATP hydrolysis activity and DNA binding activity. Contributes to 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 DNA metabolic process; determination of adult lifespan; and intracellular signal transduction. Located in nucleus. Part of MutSalpha complex. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; liver; lung; and tail dorsal root ganglion. Used to study Lynch syndrome and colorectal cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Lynch syndrome (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung cancer (multiple); mismatch repair cancer syndrome; and transitional cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human MSH2 (mutS homolog 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Msh2 deficiency causes dysmyelination of the axonal projections in the corpus callosum. Evoked action potentials in the myelinated corpus callosum projections of Msh2-null mice were smaller than wild-type mice, whereas unmyelinated axons showed no difference.
Title: Msh2 deficiency leads to dysmyelination of the corpus callosum, impaired locomotion, and altered sensory function in mice.
Deletion of the MSH2 C-terminus severely affected the stability of the MSH2/MSH6 heterodimer and consequently strongly attenuated DNA mismatch repair. The C-terminal truncation MSH2 mutant predisposed mice to tumor formation.Mutations deleting the MSH2 C-terminus can therefore unambiguously be considered as pathogenic and a cause of Lynch syndrome.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
