UniProt Summary: Involved in non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), a major pathway to repair double-strand breaks in DNA. May act as a scaffold required to stabilize the Ku heterodimer, composed of XRCC5/Ku80 and XRCC6/Ku70, at double-strand break sites and promote the assembly and/or stability of the NHEJ machinery. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25574025, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25670504, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25941166}.
