RAD51
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog 1 is a protein encoded by the gene RAD51. The enzyme encoded by this gene is a member of the RAD51 protein family which assists in repair of DNA double strand breaks. RAD51 family members are homologous to the bacterial RecA, Archaeal RadA and yeast Rad51.[4][5] The protein is highly conserved in most eukaryotes, from yeast to humans.[6]
