FANCF Gene

Overview

FANCF (Fanconi Anemia Group F) is a critical gene located on chromosome 11p15 that encodes a scaffold protein essential for the Fanconi anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway. The gene is catalogued as NCBI Gene ID [2188](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/2188) and OMIM [607128](https://omim.org/entry/607128). FANCF serves as a central adaptor within the FA core complex, stabilizing protein-protein interactions required for interstrand crosslink (ICL) repair and maintaining genomic stability[@smogorzewska2005][@meetei2003].

The protein encoded by FANCF is [FANCF Protein](/proteins/fancf-protein), a 380-amino acid scaffold protein that plays a unique role in assembling and stabilizing the FA core complex. Unlike other FA proteins that have enzymatic functions, FANCF acts primarily as a molecular scaffold, bringing together multiple protein components to facilitate efficient DNA repair[@liu2007].
