Description
General description
RAD51 is essential for homologous recombination of DNA during repair of double-strand breaks. The N-terminus of RAD51 functions to bind DNA and promote homologous pairing and strand exchange within a regular nucleoprotein filament. In yeast, the Rad51 family of related proteins also includes Rad55, Rad57, and Dmc1. In mammalian cells, seven genes in this family have been identified (HsRAD51, XRCC2, XRCC3, RAD51B/hREC2 and HsDMC1, RAD51C, and RAD51D). RAD51 is predominantly expressed in the testis and thymus but can also be found in the small intestine, placenta, colon, pancreas and ovaries.
~37 kDa observed. Two isoforms (isoform 1 at 37 kDa and isoform 2 at 26 kDa) produced as a result of alternative splicing are known to exist: .
