Description

activity-dependent neuroprotector homeobox

Gene Summary

This gene encodes a member of a protein family characterized by nine zinc finger motifs followed by a homeobox domain. In vitro studies demonstrate that the encoded protein interacts with the brahma-related gene1-associated or hBRM factors (BAF) gene expression regulating complex, components of the protein translation machinery, and microtubule-associated proteins. This gene has been implicated in neuroprotection through various processes that include chromatin remodeling, splicing, cytoskeletal reorganization, and autophagy. Homozygous mutant knockout mice display embryonic lethality with defects in neural tube closure. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016]
