UniProt functional annotation for Q8NDX5

UniProt code: Q8NDX5.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12167701}.
 
Subunit: Component of a PRC1-like complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12167701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19636380, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21282530}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12167701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21282530}.
Miscellaneous: The hPRC-H complex purification reported by PubMed:12167701 probably presents a mixture of different PRC1-like complexes.
Sequence caution: [Isoform 5]: Sequence=BAB14245.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
