ATR encodes ATR checkpoint kinase (2,644 aa). Serine/threonine protein kinase which activates checkpoint signaling upon genotoxic stresses such as ionizing radiation (IR), ultraviolet light (UV), or DNA replication stalling, thereby acting as a DNA damage sensor. Highest expression in Adrenal Gland (15.7 TPM) and Cells Cultured fibroblasts (14.3 TPM).
Seckel syndrome 1 is associated with mutations in the ATR gene on chromosome 3.
ATR is classified as a druggable target (Clinically Actionable, Dna Repair, Druggable Genome, Enzyme, Kinase, Phosphatidylinositol 3 Kinase, and Serine Threonine Kinase categories) with score 3.3.
Genetic testing for ATR is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
1 clinical trial registered. Interventions under study include other interventions. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.
1 publication has been identified in PubMed for Seckel syndrome 1. Research spans Basic Science / Preclinical (100%).
