Summary
Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; chordate embryonic development; and negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in nuclear body and sex chromatin. Part of PcG protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; brain; eye; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human PCGF2 (polycomb group ring finger 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Ubiquitous expression in CNS E14 (RPKM 21.4), whole brain E14.5 (RPKM 19.6) and 25 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
