Facts about Breast cancer type 2 susceptibility protein.
Acts by targeting RAD51 to ssDNA over double-stranded DNA, allowing RAD51 to displace replication protein-A (RPA) from ssDNA and stabilizing RAD51-ssDNA filaments by blocking ATP hydrolysis. Section of a PALB2-scaffolded HR complex containing RAD51C and which is thought to play a role in DNA repair by HR.
