This protein selectively interacts with the POZ domain of BCL6, but not with eight other POZ proteins. Specific class I and II histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been shown to interact with this protein, which suggests a possible link between the two classes of HDACs. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome Y.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010] Expression Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 8.0), lymph node (RPKM 7.0) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
