Mecp2 | Methyl-CpG-binding protein 2; Chromosomal protein that binds to methylated DNA. It can bind specifically to a single methyl-CpG pair. It is not influenced by sequences flanking the methyl-CpGs. Mediates transcriptional repression through interaction with histone deacetylase and the corepressor SIN3. Binds both 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)- containing DNA, with a preference for 5-methylcytosine (5mC). (501 aa) | ||||
Acox1 | Peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase 1, A chain; Catalyzes the desaturation of acyl-CoAs to 2-trans-enoyl-CoAs (By similarity). Isoform 1 shows highest activity against medium-chain fatty acyl-CoAs and activity decreases with increasing chain length (By similarity). Isoform 2 is active against a much broader range of substrates and shows activity towards very long-chain acyl-CoAs (By similarity). (661 aa) |
