Gene information for PHF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5252
Official gene symbolPHF1
Full namePHD finger protein 1
Aliases,MTF2L2,PCL1,PHF2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a Polycomb group protein. The protein is a component of a histone H3 lysine-27 (H3K27)-specific methyltransferase complex, and functions in transcriptional repression of homeotic genes. The protein is also recruited to double-strand breaks, and reduced protein levels results in X-ray sensitivity and increased homologous recombination. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
