Sororin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CDCA5 gene.[1][2][3]

Function

Sororin is required for stable binding of cohesin to chromatin and for sister chromatid cohesion in interphase. [4]

Clinical Significance

Transactivation of Sororin and its phosphorylation at Ser209 by ERK play an important role in lung cancer proliferation. [5]
