Merck, 05-908, Anti-RAD21 Antibody

General description
100-120kDa
Aka Scc1, part of the cohesin complex, Rad21 is a nuclear protein that associates with mitotic chromatin and is essential for the association of kinetochores with microtubules. Rad21/Scc1 s is cleaved by caspases, promoting apoptosis.
The protein encoded by the Rad21 gene is highly similar to the gene product of Schizosaccharomyces pombe rad21, a gene involved in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks, as well as in chromatid cohesion during mitosis. This protein is a nuclear phospho-protein, which becomes hyperphosphorylated in cell cycle M phase.
RAD21 also plays a role in apoptosis, via its cleavage by caspase 3 or caspase 7 during early steps of apoptosis: the C-terminal 64 kDa cleavage product may act as a nuclear signal to initiate cytoplasmic events involved in the apoptotic pathway. Recent work has shown that the RAD21 has a role in the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells
