Name | methyl-CPG-binding domain 7 | Brief Description | methyl-CPG-binding domain 7 |
TAIR Computational Description | methyl-CPG-binding domain 7;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a protein containing a methyl-CpG-binding domain that acts as an anti-silencing factor that prevent gene repression and DNA hypermethylation by tethering other anti-silencing factors to methylated DNA, which enables the function of DNA demethylases that in turn limit DNA methylation and prevent transcriptional gene silencing. |
