FANCA Fanconi anaemia, complementation group A, also known as FAA, FACA and FANCA, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ''FANCA'' gene. It belongs to the Fanconi anaemia complementation group (FANC) family of genes of which 12 complementatio ...

FANCB Fanconi anemia group B protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''FANCB'' gene. Function The Fanconi anemia complementation group (FANC) currently includes FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1 (also called BRCA2), FANCD2, FANCE, FANCF ...

FANCC Fanconi anemia group C protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''FANCC'' gene. Structure Function The protein encoded by this gene delays the onset of apoptosis and promotes homologous recombination repair of damaged DNA. ...

FANCE Fanconi anemia, complementation group E protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''FANCE'' gene. The Fanconi anemia complementation group (FANC) currently includes FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1 (also called BRCA2), FANCD2, FANCE, FANC ...

FANCF Fanconi anemia group F protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''FANCF'' gene. Interactions FANCF has been shown to interact with Fanconi anemia, complementation group C, FANCG, FANCA and FANCE. Function FANCF is an adaptor ...

FANCG Fanconi anemia group G protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''FANCG'' gene. Function FANCG, involved in Fanconi anemia, confers resistance to both hygromycin B and mitomycin C. FANCG contains a 5-prime GC-rich untranslated ...

FANCL E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase FANCL is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ''FANCL'' gene. Function The clinical phenotype of mutational defects in all Fanconi anemia (FA) complementation groups is similar. This phenotype is characteriz ...

FANCD1 ''BRCA2'' and BRCA2 () are a human gene and its protein product, respectively. The official symbol (BRCA2, italic for the gene, nonitalic for the protein) and the official name (originally breast cancer 2; currently BRCA2, DNA repair associated) ...

FANCD2 Fanconi anemia group D2 protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''FANCD2'' gene. The Fanconi anemia complementation group ( FANC) currently includes FANCA, FANCB, FANCC, FANCD1 (also called BRCA2), FANCD2 (this gene), FANCE, FANCF, F ...

FANCI Fanconi anemia, complementation group I (FANCI) also known as KIAA1794, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ''FANCI'' gene. Mutations in the ''FANCI'' gene are known to cause Fanconi anemia. Function The Fanconi anemia complementa ...

FANCJ Fanconi anemia group J protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''BRCA1-interacting protein 1'' (''BRIP1'') gene. Function The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RecQ DEAH helicase family and interacts with the BRCT r ...

FANCN Partner and localizer of BRCA2, also known as PALB2 or FANCN, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the ''PALB2'' gene. Function This gene encodes a protein that functions in genome maintenance ( double strand break repair). This prote ...
