    Summary
    Studies suggest that the protein encoded by this gene is important for the release of cohesin from chromatin. This gene product is thought to be essential for development, and reduced expression of this gene in cells causes defects in chromatin structure. High levels of expression of the human ortholog of this gene are observed in cervical cancers, and expression of the human ortholog of this gene in mice results in tumor formation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
