DNA mismatch repair protein MSH6, G/T mismatch binding protein, GTBP, GTMBP, HNPCC 5, HNPCC5, HSAP, MSH 6, mutS (E. coli) homolog 6, MutS alpha 160 kDa subunit, mutS homolog 6, p160, Sperm associated protein, MSH6_HUMAN, MutS Protein Homolog 6.
This gene encodes a member of the DNA mismatch repair MutS family. In E. coli, the MutS protein helps in the recognition of mismatched nucleotides prior to their repair. A highly conserved region of approximately 150 aa, called the Walker-A adenine nucle
