Summary

Name MBD2
Full Name Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2
Synonyms Demethylase, DMTase, Methyl-CpG-binding protein MBD2 |
Primary ID Q9UBB5
Links - -
Type protein
Relations 4
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.
