BAZ1B - bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain, 1B
Entrez Gene Name: bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain, 1B
Synonyms: BAZ1B, C87820, WBSCR10, WBSCR9, WSTF

Gene Summary

  • Human (9031): This gene encodes a member of the bromodomain protein family. The bromodomain is a structural motif characteristic of proteins involved in chromatin-dependent regulation of transcription. This gene is deleted in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a developmental disorder caused by deletion of multiple genes at 7q11.23. [provided by RefSeq]
