Gene: CECR2

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 22

Location in Chromosome : 22q11.1-q11.21

Description of this Gene: CECR2 histone acetyl-lysine reader

Type of Gene: protein-coding
