Gene:
l(3)mbt-like 2 (Drosophila)
Gene ID:
198172
Symbol:
L3MBTL2
Species:
1000
Description:
Putative Polycomb group (PcG) protein. PcG proteins maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of genes, probably via a modification of chromatin, rendering it heritably changed in its expressibility. Its association with a chromatin remodeling complex suggests that it may contribute to prevent expression of genes that trigger the cell into mitosis.
