Function

MPP8_HUMAN Involved in transcriptional regulation. Specifically recognizes and binds methylated 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me) and promotes DNA methylation by recruiting DNMT3A to target CpG sites; these can be situated within the coding region of the gene. Mediates down-regulation of CDH1 expression.[1]
