Rad21 - RAD21 cohesin complex component

Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including nuclear division; regulation of cell cycle process; and replication-born double-strand break repair via sister chromatid exchange. Predicted to be located in chromosome and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of nuclear meiotic cohesin complex and nuclear mitotic cohesin complex. Predicted to be active in synaptonemal complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Cornelia de Lange syndrome 4; hepatocellular carcinoma; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human RAD21 (RAD21 cohesin complex component).
