Target/Specificity | PHF21A (BHC80) is a component of a BRAF35/histone deacetylase complex (BHC) that mediates repression of neuron-specific genes through the cis-regulatory element known as repressor element-1 (RE1) or neural restrictive silencer (NRS).BHC80 is a component of a BRAF35 (MIM 605535)/histone deacetylase (HDAC, see MIM 601241) complex (BHC) that mediates repression of neuron-specific genes through the cis-regulatory element known as repressor element-1 (RE1) or neural restrictive silencer (NRS) (Hakimi et al., 2002 [PubMed 12032298]).[supplied by OMIM]. |

Synonyms | BHC80, KIAA1696 |
Function | Component of the BHC complex, a corepressor complex that represses transcription of neuron-specific genes in non-neuronal cells. The BHC complex is recruited at RE1/NRSE sites by REST and acts by deacetylating and demethylating specific sites on histones, thereby acting as a chromatin modifier. In the BHC complex, it may act as a scaffold. Inhibits KDM1A-mediated demethylation of 'Lys-4' of histone H3 in vitro, suggesting a role in demethylation regulation. |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in brain (PubMed:31649809). Expressed at lower level in other tissues, including heart, kidney, liver, lung and skeletal muscle (PubMed:31649809). Abundantly expressed in fetal brain (PubMed:31649809). |
