WAPL

WAPL (WAPL Cohesin Release Factor) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Mitotic Telophase/Cytokinesis and CDK-mediated phosphorylation and removal of Cdc6.

WAPL Cohesin Release Factor

Regulator of sister chromatid cohesion in mitosis which negatively regulates cohesin association with chromatin. Involved in both sister chromatid cohesion during interphase and sister-chromatid resolution during early stages of mitosis. Couples DNA replication to sister chromatid cohesion. Cohesion ensures that chromosome partitioning is accurate in both meiotic and mitotic cells and plays an important role in DNA repair.

Associates with chromatin through the cohesin complex during interphase. Released in the cytoplasm from nuclear envelope breakdown until anaphase, it reaccumulates in nucleus at telophase.
