Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; metal ion binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chromatin organization; negative regulation of single stranded viral RNA replication via double stranded DNA intermediate; and positive regulation of DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol; heterochromatin; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2Z. Orthologous to human MORC2 (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
