| Tissue Specificity | Testis, thymus, prostate and heart. |
| Function | Isoform 3 functions as a heterodimer with DNA-repair protein XRCC1 in the nucleus and can correct defective DNA strand-break repair and sister chromatid exchange following treatment with ionizing radiation and alkylating agents. Isoform 1 is targeted to mitochondria, where it functions as a DNA ligase in mitochondrial base-excision DNA repair. |
