Recombinant Human Lethal (3)malignant brain tumor-like protein 2 (L3MBTL2)

Uniprot Id

Q969R5

Target Species

Human

Target Name

L3MBTL2

Target Full Name

Lethal(3)malignant brain tumor-like protein 2

Target Function

Putative Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of genes, probably via a modification of chromatin, rendering it heritably changed in its expressibility. Its association with a chromatin-remodeling complex suggests that it may contribute to prevent expression of genes that trigger the cell into mitosis. Binds to monomethylated and dimethylated 'Lys-20' on histone H4. Binds histone H3 peptides that are monomethylated or dimethylated on 'Lys-4', 'Lys-9' or 'Lys-27'.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Background

Enables methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including ectoderm development; regulation of histone modification; and stem cell proliferation. Located in nucleus.
