DIP2 homolog B, DIP2, DIP2B_HUMAN, DIP2 disco interacting protein 2 homolog B (Drosophila), Disco interacting protein 2 homolog B, FLJ34278, KIAA1463, MGC104005.
This gene encodes a member of the disco-interacting protein homolog 2 protein family. The encoded protein contains a binding site for the transcriptional regulator DNA methyltransferase 1 associated protein 1 as well as AMP-binding sites. The presence of these sites suggests that the encoded protein may participate in DNA methylation. This gene is located near a folate-sensitive fragile site, and CGG-repeat expansion in the promoter of this gene which affects transcription has been detected in individuals containing this fragile site on chromosome 12.
