Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Transcriptional repressor with bimodal DNA-binding specificity. Represses transcription in a methyl-CpG-dependent manner. Binds with a higher affinity to methylated CpG dinucleotides in the consensus sequence 5'-CGCG-3' but can also bind to the non-methylated consensus sequence 5'-CTGCNA-3' also known as the consensus kaiso binding site (KBS). Can also bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair and can bind hemimethylated DNA but with a lower affinity compared to methylated DNA (PubMed:16354688). Plays a role in postnatal myogenesis, may be involved in the regulation of satellite cells self-renewal (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q5F293, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16354688}.
