Summary

BACC1 (BPTF associated chromatin complex component 1, HGNC:28737) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17p13.1, encoding BPTF-associated chromatin complex component 1 (Q8IXM2). Component of chromatin complexes such as the MLL1/MLL and NURF complexes. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 17.0% of cell lines).

Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin organization. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Part of MLL1 complex and NURF complex.
