Summary
Enables DNA binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; cellular response to hyperoxia; and response to alkaloid. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Biomarker of anxiety disorder; congenital heart disease; hepatocellular carcinoma; and prostatitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including acute myeloid leukemia; autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome 1; and thymoma. Orthologous to human DNMT3B (DNA methyltransferase 3 beta). [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.
