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 transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nuclear body and sex chromatin. Part of PRC1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human PCGF2 (polycomb group ring finger 2).

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.
