Summary
This gene encodes the large subunit of replication factor C, a five subunit DNA polymerase accessory protein, which is a DNA-dependent ATPase required for eukaryotic DNA replication and repair. The large subunit acts as an activator of DNA polymerases, binds to the 3' end of primers, and promotes coordinated synthesis of both strands. It may also have a role in telomere stability. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
Annotation information
Note: RFC1 (GeneID: 5981) and SLC19A1 (GeneID: 6573) share the RFC1 symbol/alias in common. RFC1 is the official symbol for the gene name 'replication factor C subunit 1' and is an alias for 'reduced folate carrier 1' on the 'solute carrier family 19 member 1' gene. [18 May 2018]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
