Cohesin subunit SCC3

UniProtKB accession:  P40541

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of cohesin complex, a complex required for the cohesion of sister chromatids after DNA replication. The cohesin complex apparently forms a large proteinaceous ring within which sister chromatids can be trapped. At anaphase, the MCD1/SCC1 subunit of the complex is cleaved and dissociates from chromatin, allowing sister chromatids to segregate. The cohesin complex may also play a role in spindle pole assembly during mitosis.
