Rad21l1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in replication-born double-strand break repair via sister chromatid exchange and sister chromatid cohesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; homologous chromosome segregation; and seminiferous tubule development. Predicted to be located in lateral element. Predicted to be part of meiotic cohesin complex. Orthologous to human RAD21L1 (RAD21 cohesin complex component like 1).

Protein Domains
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 rat Rad21l1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Middle HEAT-repeat binding domain of Rad21/Rec8-like proteins
- N terminus of Rad21 / Rec8 like protein
- Conserved region of Rad21 / Rec8 like protein
