Facts about Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 1.
Acts as transcriptional repressor and plays a role in gene silencing by recruiting AFT7IP, which subsequently recruits factors like the histone methyltransferase SETDB1. Probably forms a complex with SETDB1 and ATF7IP that represses transcription and couples DNA methylation and histone'Lys-9' trimethylation.
