Summary: Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including maternal behavior; regulation of gene expression; and response to estradiol. Located in chromatin. Used to study choline deficiency disease. Biomarker of choline deficiency disease; transient cerebral ischemia; and visual epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Orthologous to human MBD2 (methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
