Target Information
Alternative Names
MBD2 Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 Demethylase Methyl-CpG-binding protein MBD2
Molecular Weight(MW)
43255 Da
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
Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed in brain, heart, kidney, stomach, testis and placenta
Cellular Localization
Nucleus. Note=Nuclear, in discrete foci. Detected at replication foci in late S phase
