Summary
RAD21 is part of the cohesin complex which is the cellular machinery involved in sister chromatid cohesion and that which requires access to the nucleosomal DNA to perform its function in chromosome segregation.
Entrez Gene
Summary 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.
