RAD21

RAD21 is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell division by helping to hold the duplicated chromosomes together until they are ready to separate. It is a part of a larger complex called cohesin, which ensures that chromosomes stay properly aligned and organized during cell division. This process is essential for accurate distribution of genetic material to daughter cells, preventing genetic errors. RAD21's proper function is vital for healthy cell growth and development, and mutations or malfunctions can contribute to issues like developmental disorders or cancer.
