MeSH definition : Securin is involved in the control of the metaphase-anaphase transition during MITOSIS.
It promotes the onset of anaphase by blocking SEPARASE function and preventing proteolysis
of cohesin and separation of sister CHROMATIDS. Overexpression of securin is associated
with NEOPLASTIC CELL TRANSFORMATION and tumor formation.;
