The function of ENSG00000146670 (CDCA5, cell division cycle associated 5) is as follows. Regulator of sister chromatid cohesion in mitosis, stabilizing cohesin complex association with chromatin. May antagonize the action of WAPL which stimulates cohesin dissociation from chromatin. Cohesion ensures that chromosome partitioning is accurate in both meiotic and mitotic cells and plays an important role in DNA repair. Required for efficient DNA double-stranded break repair. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15837422, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17349791, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21111234, ECO:0000269|PubMed:41261216}.
