Description
Product Characteristics: The protein encoded by this gene interacts with components of the origin recognition complex (ORC) and regulates the formation of the prereplicative complex. The encoded protein stabilizes the ORC and therefore aids in DNA replication. This protein is required for the G1/S phase transition of the cell cycle. In addition, the encoded protein binds to trimethylated histone H3 in heterochromatin and recruits the ORC and lysine methyltransferases, which help maintain the repressive heterochromatic state. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.,LRWD1,CENP-33,ORCA,Lrwd1,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Lrwd1
Target Information: Associated component of the origin recognition complex (ORC) required to recruit and stabilize the ORC complex to chromatin. Probably required for the association of ORC on chromatin during G1 to establish pre-replication complex (preRC) and to heterochromatic sites in post-replicated cells (By similarity)
