Description

Predicted to enable methylated histone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of PRC1 complex. Predicted to be active in heterochromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; heart; nervous system; pectoral fin bud; and pleuroperitoneal region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal 5. Orthologous to human CBX2 (chromobox 2).
