{"symbol":"RAD21","synonyms":["MCD1","HRAD21","HR21","HHR21","NXP1","CDLS4","MGS"],"name":"RAD21 homolog (S. pombe)","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.
