Description
PH-interacting protein (PHIP), also known as WDR11 or BRWD2, is a member of the WD repeat protein family. This family is characterized by regions of approximately 40 amino acids bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), that potentially facilitate the formation of heterotrimeric or multimeric protein complexes. They also contain bromodomains that recognize acetylated histone lysine residues and function as "readers" of these epigenetic histone marks to regulate chromatin structure and gene expression by linking associated proteins to the recognized acetylated nucleosomal targets
