Name | MBD2 |
---|---|
Function | Binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides. Binds hemimethylated DNA as well. Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing. Functions as a scaffold protein, targeting GATAD2A and GATAD2B to chromatin to promote repression. May enhance the activation of some unmethylated cAMP-responsive promoters. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. Note=Nuclear, in discrete foci Detected at replication foci in late S phase |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in brain, heart, kidney, stomach, testis and placenta. |
