MBD4 - methyl-CpG binding domain 4, DNA glycosylase Gene
Also Known as MED1; TPDS2
Species: Homo sapiens
About MBD4
This gene has 10 transcripts (splice variants), 195 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 27.7), spleen (RPKM 17.6) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of nuclear proteins related by the presence of a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). These proteins are capable of binding specifically to methylated DNA, and some members can also repress transcription from methylated gene promoters. This protein contains an MBD domain at the N-terminus that functions both in binding to methylated DNA and in protein interactions and a C-terminal mismatch-specific glycosylase domain that is involved in DNA repair. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]
