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) | ||||
Synb | Transmembrane protein; This endogenous retroviral envelope protein has retained its original fusogenic properties. Together with Syna, participates in trophoblast fusion and the formation of a syncytium during placenta morphogenesis. Synb is specifically involved in formation of syncytiotrophoblast layer II (SynT-II). Promotes myoblast fusion, and may play a role in regeneration of damaged muscle tissue in males. May have immunosuppressive activity. (618 aa) |
