This gene encodes a member of the bromodomain protein family. The bromodomain is a structural motif characteristic of proteins involved in chromatin-dependent regulation of transcription. This gene is deleted in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a developmental disorder caused by deletion of multiple genes at 7q11.23. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to single bromodomain, aa1335-1450, from human BAZ1B, fused to His-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
