Facts about BEN domain-containing protein 3.
Binds to unmethylated major satellite DNA and is involved in the recruitment of the Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) into major satellites (By similarity). Stimulates the ERCC6L translocase and ATPase activities (PubMed:28977671).

Expressed at least in heart, kidney, liver, ovary and spleen, with highest levels in spleen and lowest in heart. Expressed on the surface of T-cells.
Nucleus. Nucleus, nucleolus. In the nucleus, observed in heterochromatic foci containing CBX1, CBX3, CBX5 and histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-9'. Released from chromatin during decondensation. Association with heterochromatin does not depend on sumoylation.
PMID: 21914818 by Sathyan K.M., et al. A BEN-domain-containing protein associates with heterochromatin and represses transcription.
PMID: 25400923 by Shiheido H., et al. Human T cells expressing BEND3 on their surface represent a novel subpopulation that preferentially produces IL-6 and IL-8.
