Protein
Double-strand-break repair protein rad21-like protein 1
Function
Meiosis-specific component of some cohesin complex required during the initial steps of prophase I in male meiosis. Probably required during early meiosis in males for separation of sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes. Replaces RAD21 in premeiotic S phase (during early stages of prophase I), while RAD21 reappears in later stages of prophase I. Involved in synaptonemal complex assembly, synapsis initiation and crossover recombination between homologous chromosomes during prophase I. Not required for meiosis in females in young mice, while it is required later as mice age.
Similarity
Belongs to the rad21 family.
