Overview:
FANCL or Fanconi anemia complementation group L is a member of the Fanconi anemia complementation group. Fanconi anemia is a genetically heterogeneous recessive disorder characterized by cytogenetic instability, hypersensitivity to DNA crosslinking agents, increased chromosomal breakage, and defective DNA repair. FANCL is crucial in the FA pathway as the catalytic subunit required for monoubiquitination of FANCD2 (1). UBE2W interacts with FANCL and regulates the monoubiquitination of Fanconi anemia protein FANCD2 (2).
