RAD51L1

RAD51-like 1 (S. cerevisiae)

On chromosome: 14q23-q24.2
Known also as: REC2; R51H2; hREC2; RAD51B; MGC34245;


NCBI Gene ID: 5890
NCBI Ensembl Id: ENSG00000182185
MIM Id: (from NCBI OMIM database) 602948
Species: Homo sapiens

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the RAD51 protein family. RAD51 family members are evolutionarily conserved proteins essential for DNA repair by homologous recombination. This protein has been shown to form a stable heterodimer with the family member RAD51C, which further interacts with the other family members, such as RAD51, XRCC2, and XRCC3. Overexpression of this gene was found to cause cell cycle G1 delay and cell apoptosis, which suggested a role of this protein in sensing DNA damage. At least three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq]
