CECR2

Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a bromodomain-containing protein that is involved in chromatin remodeling, and may additionally play a role in DNA damage response. The encoded protein functions as part of an ATP-dependent complex that is involved in neurulation. This gene is a candidate gene for Cat Eye Syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014].
UniProt Summary: Chromatin reader component of histone-modifying complexes, such as the CERF (CECR2-containing-remodeling factor) complex and ISWI-type complex (PubMed:15640247, PubMed:26365797, PubMed:22464331). It thereby plays a role in various processes during development: required during embryogenesis for neural tube closure and inner ear development. In adults, required for spermatogenesis, via the formation of ISWI-type chromatin complexes (By similarity). In histone-modifying complexes, CECR2 recognizes and binds acylated histones: binds histones that are acetylated and/or butyrylated (PubMed:26365797, PubMed:22464331). May also be involved through its interaction with LRPPRC in the integration of cytoskeletal network with vesicular trafficking, nucleocytosolic shuttling, transcription, chromosome remodeling and cytokinesis (PubMed:11827465). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:E9Q2Z1, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11827465, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15640247, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22464331, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26365797}.
