== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MBD2_HUMAN MBD2_HUMAN]] Binds CpG islands in promoters where the DNA is methylated at position 5 of cytosine within CpG dinucleotides. Binds hemimethylated DNA as well. Recruits histone deacetylases and DNA methyltransferases. Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing. Functions as a scaffold protein, targeting GATAD2A and GATAD2B to chromatin to promote repression. May enhance the activation of some unmethylated cAMP-responsive promoters.<ref>PMID:10471499</ref> <ref>PMID:10947852</ref> <ref>PMID:12665568</ref> <ref>PMID:16415179</ref> <ref>PMID:24307175</ref> <ref>PMID:9774669</ref>
