Name  DNA mismatch repair protein, MSH2 Short Name  DNA_mismatch_repair_MSH2
Type  Family Description  Mismatch repair is one of five major DNA repair pathways, the others being homologous recombination repair, non-homologous end joining, nucleotide excision repair, and base excision repair. The mismatch repair system recognises and repairs mispaired or unpaired nucleotides that result from errors in DNA replication. Many proteins involved in the different repair processes also play a role in apoptosis when DNA damage is excessive, thereby helping to prevent carcinogenesis []. The mismatch repair protein, Msh2 (MutS homologue 2), has a dual role in DNA repair and apoptosis. Msh2 acts as a heterodimer with Msh6, which together function to recruit the Mlh (MutL homologue) - Pms (post-meiotic segregation) heterodimer, and to replace the mispaired base [].
