Protein kinase that detects DNA damage and halts cell division
Serine/threonine-protein kinase ATR , also known as ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR ) or FRAP-related protein 1 (FRP1 ), is an enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the ATR gene .[ 5] [ 6] It is a large kinase of about 301.66 kDa.[ 7] ATR belongs to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-related kinase protein family. ATR is activated in response to single strand breaks , and works with ATM to ensure genome integrity.
