Rad51d

This gene belongs to the Rad51 gene family whose products play a major role in homologous recombination and DNA repair. The encoded protein interacts with other proteins of this family, including Rad51b, Rad51c and Xrcc2, and plays an essential role in both DNA repair and telomere maintenance. In humans, germline mutations in this gene may be associated with predisposition to ovarian cancer. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Rad51d often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
