Background
RAD51 is a eukaryotic gene, which is highly conserved from yeast to humans. The enzyme encoded by this gene is a member of the RAD51 protein family which assists in repair of DNA double strand breaks. In humans, RAD51 is a 339-amino acid protein that plays a major role in homologous recombination of DNA during double strand break repair. In this process, an ATP dependent DNA strand exchange takes place in which a template strand invades base-paired strands of homologous DNA molecules. RAD51 is involved in the search for homology and strand pairing stages of the process. Unlike other proteins involved in DNA metabolism, the RecA/Rad51 family forms a helical nucleoprotein filament on DNA. This protein can interact with the ssDNA-binding protein RPA, BRCA2, PALB2 and RAD52.
