UniProtKB accession:  Q7Z4V5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Acts as an epigenetic regulator of myogenesis in cooperation with DPF3a (isoform 2 of DPF3/BAF45C) (PubMed:32459350). Associates with the BAF complex via its interaction with DPF3a and HDGFL2-DPF3a activate myogenic genes by increasing chromatin accessibility through recruitment of SMARCA4/BRG1/BAF190A (ATPase subunit of the BAF complex) to myogenic gene promoters (PubMed:32459350). Promotes the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) through the homologous recombination pathway by facilitating the recruitment of the DNA endonuclease RBBP8 to the DSBs (PubMed:26721387). Preferentially binds to chromatin regions marked by H3K9me3, H3K27me3 and H3K36me2 (PubMed:26721387, PubMed:32459350). Involved in cellular growth control, through the regulation of cyclin D1 expression (PubMed:25689719).
