BRIP1 (Fanconi anaemia group J protein) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, a biomarker and a DNA repair gene, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Breast cancer, Ovarian cancer, Gastric & gastro-oesophageal junction cancer and 3 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

DNA-dependent ATPase and 5'-3' DNA helicase required for the maintenance of chromosomal stability. Acts late in the Fanconi anaemia pathway, after FANCD2 ubiquitination. Involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination in a manner that depends on its association with BRCA1. Involved in the repair of abasic sites at replication forks by promoting the degradation of DNA-protein cross-links: acts by catalysing unfolding of HMCES DNA-protein cross-link via its helicase activity, exposing the underlying DNA and enabling cleavage of the DNA-protein adduct by the SPRTN metalloprotease. Can unwind RNA:DNA substrates. Unwinds G-quadruplex DNA; unwinding requires a 5'-single stranded tail. Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm (UniProt). Locus 17q23.2 (HGNC).
