Background
This gene encodes a component of the polycomb multiprotein complex, which is required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes throughout development via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones. Disruption of this gene in mice results in male-to-female gonadal sex reversal. Mutations in this gene are also associated with gonadal dysgenesis in humans. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010],
Function
function:Component of the Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1 complex, a complex required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility.,similarity:Contains 1 A.T hook DNA-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 1 chromo domain.,subunit:Component of chromatin-associated class II polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1/hPRC-H) at least composed of PCGF2/RNF110, BMI1/PCGF4, CBX2/M33, CBX4/PC2, CBX8/PC3, PHC1, PHC2, PHC3, SCMH1, RING1 and RNF2/RING2.,
