Brief Description | HSP20-like chaperones superfamily protein |
TAIR Computational Description | HSP20-like chaperones superfamily protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes an atypical member of the sHSP20 family that is involved in histone demethylation. Loss of function mutations show increased methylation. IMD2 co-localizes to the nucleus with, and physically interacts with, IMD1, a protein involved in RNA directed DNA methylation. IMD2 contains an alpha crystallin domain , that is required for its function. |
