RAD6

RAD6 is a gene that produces an enzyme involved in the process of repairing damaged DNA in cells. It plays a key role in a pathway called post-replication repair, helping cells fix errors or damage that occur during DNA copying, especially when other repair mechanisms are overwhelmed. This enzyme also influences how cells modify proteins through a process called ubiquitination, which can regulate various cellular activities. Overall, RAD6 helps maintain genetic stability and proper cell function by ensuring DNA integrity and coordinating cellular responses to damage.
