Recombinant Human Regulator of chromosome condensation (RCC1)

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RCC1

Target Full Name

Regulator of chromosome condensation

Target Function

Guanine-nucleotide releasing factor that promotes the exchange of Ran-bound GDP by GTP, and thereby plays an important role in RAN-mediated functions in nuclear import and mitosis. Contributes to the generation of high levels of chromosome-associated, GTP-bound RAN, which is important for mitotic spindle assembly and normal progress through mitosis. Via its role in maintaining high levels of GTP-bound RAN in the nucleus, contributes to the release of cargo proteins from importins after nuclear import. Involved in the regulation of onset of chromosome condensation in the S phase. Binds both to the nucleosomes and double-stranded DNA.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Chromosome. Cytoplasm.

Target Background

Enables several functions, including guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; nucleosomal DNA binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; regulation of mitotic nuclear division; and spindle organization. Located in chromatin; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex.
