Introduction

Pfam

Arsenite is a carcinogenic compound which can act as a co-mutagen by inhibiting DNA repair. Arsenite-resistance protein 2 is thought to play a role in arsenite resistance [1].

InterPro

This entry represents Arsenite-resistance protein 2 (also known as Serrate RNA effector molecule homolog) which is thought to play a role in arsenite resistance [PUBMED:10069470], although does not directly confer arsenite resistance but rather modulates arsenic sensitivity [PUBMED:19632182]. Arsenite is a carcinogenic compound which can act as a comutagen by inhibiting DNA repair. It is also involved in cell cycle progression at S phase.
