c-Abl is a ubiquitously-expressed non-receptor tyrosine kinase, which is activated in an ATM-dependent manner upon DNA damage. c-Abl plays a role in growth arrest and apoptosis as well as in DNA repair; the latter mediated by c-Abl phosphorylating Tyr46 on Rad51 (This residue corresponds to tyrosine 54 of human Rad51). Arg (Abl related gene) is another member of the Ableson cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase family. Its known functions are redundant with c-Abl.
