Target intelligence / Profile preview
Fanconi anemia complementation group A (FANCA)
- Target
- FANCA
- Molecular classification
- DNA repair protein, Transcription factor
01
Overview
The FANCA gene encodes a protein that is a core component of the Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway, which is crucial for DNA repair, specifically the repair of interstrand cross-links (ICLs). The FA pathway is activated when DNA replication stalls due to damage. FANCA forms part of the FA core complex, which monoubiquitinates FANCD2 and FANCI, recruiting downstream DNA repair machinery. Mutations in FANCA are responsible for a large proportion of Fanconi anemia cases.
