RGD ID: 3075
Description: Enables several functions, including DNA binding activity; histone deacetylase binding activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including central nervous system development; positive regulation of dense core granule transport; and regulation of dendrite extension. Located in chromatin. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Used to study Rett syndrome. Biomarker of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder; hepatocellular carcinoma; and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Rett syndrome; autistic disorder; gastrointestinal system disease; severe congenital encephalopathy due to MECP2 mutation; and syndromic X-linked intellectual disability (multiple). Orthologous to human MECP2 (methyl-CpG binding protein 2); PARTICIPATES IN DNA modification pathway; INTERACTS WITH 17alpha-ethynylestradiol; 17beta-estradiol; 2,2',4,4'-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether.
