ATF7IP activating transcription factor 7 interacting protein

Gene ID: 55729, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AM; MCAF; p621; MCAF1; ATF-IP; ATF7IP1

Summary

ATF7IP is a multifunctional nuclear protein that associates with heterochromatin. It can act as a transcriptional coactivator or corepressor depending upon its binding partners (summary by Liu et al., 2009 [PubMed 19106100]).[supplied by OMIM, Nov 2010]
