High mobility group protein
FunctionHigh mobility group protein (HMG) is a chromatin protein which organizes the DNA and regulates transcription. HMG superfamilies differ by their DNA-binding domains.
DiseaseRearrangements of the HMGA2 gene were detected in human benign lipoma tumors[2]. RelevanceOverexpression of HMGB1 is associated with cancer and is targeted for cancer therapy[3]. Structural highlights |
