Rec8 - REC8 meiotic recombination protein

Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nuclear division and replication-born double-strand break repair via sister chromatid exchange. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including gamete generation; homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis; and seminiferous tubule development. Predicted to be located in kinetochore; lateral element; and male germ cell nucleus. Predicted to be part of nuclear meiotic cohesin complex and nuclear mitotic cohesin complex. Predicted to be active in synaptonemal complex. Orthologous to human REC8 (REC8 meiotic recombination protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
