PHF20 interacts with poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) and directly binds to promoter regions of octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (OCT4) and sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) to modulate a histone mark associated with active transcription, trimethylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 protein subunit (H3K4me3).

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.
