Facts about DNA topoisomerase 2-binding protein 1.
Required for DNA replication.
Plays a role in the rescue of stalled replication forks and checkpoint control.Binds double- stranded DNA breaks and nicks as well as single-stranded DNA. Recruits the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex to E2F1- responsive promoters.

Highly expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung and kidney.
Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Chromosome. Detected on unpaired autosomes in meiotic prophase cells. Detected on X and Y chromosomes during later stages of prophase. Colocalizes with ATR and H2AX at unsynapsed chromosome cores during prophase (By similarity). Has a uniform nuclear distribution during G phase. Colocalizes with BRCA1 at stalled replication forks during S phase. In mitotic cells it colocalizes with BRCA1 at spindle poles and centrosomes during metaphase and anaphase. Detected in discrete foci tog
