May be involved in early DNA damage response. Interacts with NEK6. Colocalizes with NEK6 in the centrosome. In response to DNA damage, translocates from the cytosol to mitochondria and nucleus in a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent manner. Phosphorylated by NEK6. Belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family. Truncated N-terminus. Truncated N-terminus. The first 10 codons may be found on an alternative exon not observed on any other cDNA/EST.
