BRCA2-interacting transcriptional repressor EMSY
Definition:
Regulator which is able to repress transcription, possibly via its interaction with a multiprotein chromatin remodeling complex that modifies the chromatin. Its interaction with BRCA2 suggests that it may play a central role in the DNA repair function of BRCA2. Mediates ligand-dependent transcriptional activation by nuclear hormone receptors.
