Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable ATP-dependent activity, acting on DNA; double-stranded DNA binding activity; and single-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to four-way junction DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst growth; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and somite development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of Rad51B-Rad51C-Rad51D-XRCC2 complex. Predicted to be active in replication fork. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; cranial ganglion; dorsal root ganglion; neural retina; and ventral grey horn. Orthologous to human RAD51B (RAD51 paralog B).
