Summary: Enables histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island methylation; protein autoubiquitination; and regulation of cell cycle. Located in heterochromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; ear; early conceptus; female reproductive system; and urinary system. Orthologous to human UHRF2 (ubiquitin like with PHD and ring finger domains 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

During limb development in mouse embryos, Uhrf2 is expressed in the undifferentiated autopodial mesoderm and in subsequent stages, expression becomes restricted to the interdigital mesoderm. By day 14 post coitum, interdigit regression is almost accomplished and Uhrf gene expression become restricted to zones of the joint formation.
Title: UHRF genes regulate programmed interdigital tissue regression and chondrogenesis in the embryonic limb.
These results suggested that Uhrf2 deletion selectively blocked the development of the DG crest and impaired hippocampus-dependent learning and memory. Our study will facilitate a better understanding of the role of Uhrf2 protein in the central nervous system.

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.
