Gene: L3MBTL3
Alternate names for this Gene: MBT-1|MBT1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the malignant brain tumor (MBT) family of chromatin interacting transcriptional repressors. Members of this family function as methyl-lysine readers, which recognize methylated lysine residues on histone protein tails, and are associated with the repression of gene expression. The encoded protein may regulate hematopoiesis. Homozygous deletion of this gene has been observed in human patients with medulloblastoma.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6q23.1
Description of this Gene: L3MBTL histone methyl-lysine binding protein 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
