| Function | Isoform 3 functions as heterodimer with DNA-repair protein XRCC1 in the nucleus and can correct defective DNA strand- break repair and sister chromatid exchange following treatment with ionizing radiation and alkylating agents. Isoform 1 is targeted to mitochondria, where it functions as DNA ligase in mitochondrial base-excision DNA repair (PubMed:10207110, PubMed:24674627). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10207110, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24674627}. |

| Tissue Specificity | Testis, thymus, prostate and heart. |
