Elevated level of human RPA interacting protein α (hRIPα) in cervical tumor cells is involved in cell proliferation through regulating RPA transport

► hRIPα positively regulates cell proliferation. ► The level of hRIPα protein is often elevated in cervical tumors. ► hRIPα is upregulated during the specific cell cycle. ► Knockdown of hRIPα results in the loss of RPA function. ► Overexpression of hRIPα improved cell proliferation.
