The function of BOD1L1 (biorientation of chromosomes in cell division 1 like 1, Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000038219) is as follows. Component of the fork protection machinery required to protect stalled/damaged replication forks from uncontrolled DNA2- dependent resection. Acts by stabilizing RAD51 at stalled replication forks and protecting RAD51 nucleofilaments from the antirecombinogenic activities of FBH1 and BLM (PubMed:26166705, PubMed:29937342). Does not regulate spindle orientation (PubMed:26166705). .
