Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1- like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility. In the PRC1 complex, it is required to stimulate the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity of RNF2/RING2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Detected in most organs with high expression levels in thymus, heart, brain and testis.
