The encoded protein may play a role in single-stranded DNA repair.

There is evidence that, in some species, sister chromatids are the preferred template for DNA repair.

Many of these mutations cause DNA repair to be less effective than normal.

DNA repair is the process by which all living cells deal with damage to their genetic material.
