CECR2, Official Symbol CECR2provided by HGNC Official Full Name CECR2 histone acetyl-lysine readerprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:1840 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000099954 MIM:607576; AllianceGenome:HGNC:1840 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Summary This gene encodes a bromodomain-containing protein that is involved in chromatin remodeling, and may additionally play a role in DNA damage response. The encoded protein functions as part of an ATP-dependent complex that is involved in neurulation. This gene is a candidate gene for Cat Eye Syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
