Also known as FLJ12668MCAF2
Summary
ATF7IP2 (activating transcription factor 7 interacting protein 2, HGNC:20397) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16p13.2-p13.13, encoding Activating transcription factor 7-interacting protein 2 (Q5U623). Recruiter that couples transcriptional factors to general transcription apparatus and thereby modulates transcription regulation and chromatin formation.
Predicted to enable transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus.

Additional cross-species homologs
Sequence homologs in species beyond Ensembl Compara’s model organisms, by Diamond local protein alignment (% sequence identity; best hit per species). Lower-identity rows are more distant homologs. The matched accessions’ gene symbols aren’t in biobtree yet, so each row shows the UniProt accession.

Genomic neighbors (locus context)
Genes flanking this one on the chromosome (NCBI/Entrez gene neighborhood). Positional context only — some neighbors share regulatory elements (bidirectional promoters, antisense/overlapping transcripts), but chromosomal adjacency is not itself a functional relationship (see Interactions for that).

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Recruiter that couples transcriptional factors to general transcription apparatus and thereby modulates transcription regulation and chromatin formation. Can both act as an activator or a repressor depending on the context. Mediates MBD1-dependent transcriptional repression, probably by recruiting complexes containing SETDB1. The complex formed with MBD1 and SETDB1 represses transcription and probably couples DNA methylation and histone H3 ‘Lys-9’ trimethylation (H3K9me3) activity.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with MBD1, SETDB1 and SP1. Probably forms a complex with SETDB1 and MBD1.
Subcellular location. Nucleus.
Similarity. Belongs to the MCAF family.
