Cellular Localisation: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Mitochondrion matrix Chromosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Note=Colocalizes with RAD51AP1 and RPA2 to multiple nuclear foci upon induction of DNA damage (PubMed:20154705) . DNA damage induces an increase in nuclear levels (PubMed:20154705) . Together with FIGNL1, redistributed in discrete nuclear DNA damage-induced foci after ionizing radiation (IR) or camptothecin (CPT) treatment (PubMed:23754376) . Accumulated at sites of DNA damage in a SPIDR-dependent manner (PubMed:23509288) . Recruited at sites of DNA damage in a MCM9-MCM8-dependent manner (PubMed:23401855) Colocalizes with ERCC5/XPG to nuclear foci in S phase (PubMed:26833090) .

Molecular Weight: 36966

Clone: Monoclonal

Gene Name: RAD51 (HGNC:9817)

Gene ID: 5888

Function: Plays an important role in homologous strand exchange, a key step in DNA repair through homologous recombination (HR) (PubMed:28575658) . Binds to single and double-stranded DNA and exhibits DNA-dependent ATPase activity. Catalyzes the recognition of homology and strand exchange between homologous DNA partners to form a joint molecule between a processed DNA break and the repair template. Binds to single-stranded DNA in an ATP-dependent manner to form nucleoprotein filaments which are essential for the homology search and strand exchange (PubMed:26681308) . Part of a PALB2-scaffolded HR complex containing BRCA2 and RAD51C and which is thought to play a role in DNA repair by HR. Plays a role in regulating mitochondrial DNA copy number under conditions of oxidative stress in the presence of RAD51C and XRCC3. Also involved in interstrand cross-link repair (PubMed:26253028) .
