Gene: UBN1
Alternate names for this Gene: VT|VT4
Gene Summary: Cellular senescence is a hallmark of tumor suppression and tissue aging. Senescent cells contain domains of heterochromatin, called senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF), that repress proliferation-promoting genes. The protein encoded by this gene binds to proliferation-promoting genes and is required for SAHF formation, enhancing methylation of histone H3.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 16
Location in Chromosome : 16p13.3
Description of this Gene: ubinuclein 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
