|
| Function |
Histone-binding component of NURF (nucleosome-remodeling factor), a complex which catalyzes ATP-dependent nucleosome sliding and facilitates transcription of chromatin. Specifically recognizes H3 tails trimethylated on 'Lys-4' (H3K4me3), which mark transcription start sites of virtually all active genes. May also regulate transcription through direct binding to DNA or transcription factors.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=In brains of Alzheimer disease patients, present in a subset of amyloid- containing plaques.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitously expressed, with highest levels in testis. Present in kidney, liver and brain. In the brain, highest levels are found in motor cortex (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10662542, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10727212, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7621746, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9225734}.
