Identification
HMDB Protein ID CDBP01858
Secondary Accession Numbers Not Available
Name Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. DMTase
  2. Demethylase
  3. Methyl-CpG-binding protein MBD2
Gene Name MBD2
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in DNA binding
Specific Function Binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides. Binds hemi-methylated DNA as well. Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing. Isoform 1 may enhance the activation of some unmethylated cAMP-responsive promoters. Reports about DNA demethylase activity of isoform 2 are contradictory
