Description
Product Characteristics:
BEND2 is a 799 amino acid protein that contains two BEN domains. BEND2 exists as two alternatively spliced isoforms and is considered a complete proteome. BEN domain mediates proteinDNA and proteinprotein interactions during chromatin organization and transcription. BEN domain may play a role in organization of viral DNA during replication or transcription. The BEND2 gene maps to human chromosome Xp22.13. Chromosome X consists of about 153 million base pairs and nearly 1,000 genes. The X and Y chromosomes are the human sex chromosomes. The combination of an X and Y chromosome lead to normal male development while two copies of X lead to normal female development. Color blindness, hemophilia, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy are well known X chromosome-linked conditions which affect males more frequently as males carry a single X chromosome.
Synonyms: BEN domain-containing protein 2, BEN domain containing 2, BEND 2, BEND2, BEND-2, Chromosome X open reading frame 20, MGC33653, BEND2_HUMAN, CXorf56.
Target Information: This gene encodes a protein which has two BEN domains in the C-terminus. These domains are found in proteins which participate in protein and DNA interactions which occur during chromatin restructuring or transcription. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
