Entrez gene ID5885
Official gene symbolRAD21
Full nameRAD21 homolog (S. pombe)
Aliases,FLJ25655,FLJ40596,HR21,HRAD21,KIAA0078,MCD1,NXP1,SCC1,hHR21,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to the gene product of Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad21, a gene involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks, as well as in chromatid cohesion during mitosis. This protein is a nuclear phospho-protein, which becomes hyperphosphorylated in cell cycle M phase. The highly regulated association of this protein with mitotic chromatin specifically at the centromere region suggests its role in sister chromatid cohesion in mitotic cells. [provided by RefSeq]
