RAD21 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
RAD21 
Aliases
hHR21; KIAA0078; SCC1 
Common name
RAD21 cohesin complex component 
Entrez Id
5885
Description
The 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.
