Scml2 Gene Summary [Rat]
This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb group proteins. These proteins form the Polycomb repressive complexes which are involved in transcriptional repression. The encoded protein binds histone peptides that are monomethylated at lysine residues and may be involved in regulating homeotic gene expression during development. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Scml2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- SLED domain
- Sterile alpha motif
- transcription regulator
- Present in Drosophila Scm, l(3)mbt, and vertebrate SCML2
- mbt repeat
- SAM (Sterile alpha motif )
- RNA binding Region
- protein binding
- malignant brain tumor (MBT) repeat
