RAD51, RAD51A, RECA, DNA repair protein RAD51 homolog 1, HsRAD51, hRAD51, RAD51 homolog A
Rad51 participates in a common DNA damage response pathway associated with the activation of homologous recombination and double-strand break repair. Binds to single and double-stranded DNA and exhibits DNA-dependent ATPase activity. Underwinds duplex DNA and forms helical nucleoprotein filaments.
