Mbd3 | Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 3; Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing. Does not bind DNA by itself. Binds to DNA with a preference for sites containing methylated CpG dinucleotides (in vitro). Binds to a lesser degree DNA containing unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (By similarity). Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. (285 aa) | ||||
Acot5 | Acyl-coenzyme A thioesterase 5; Acyl-CoA thioesterases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs to the free fatty acid and coenzyme A (CoASH), providing the potential to regulate intracellular levels of acyl-CoAs, free fatty acids and CoASH. Mainly active on medium-chain acyl-CoAs. Seems to be involved in intraperoxisomal regulation of acyl-CoA levels, but not CoASH levels. May have a function in termination of beta-oxidation of fatty acids. (421 aa) |
