BMI1 Protein Definition

Involved in transcriptional repression, BMI1 heritably modifies chromatin, changing its expressibility. BMI1 may repress HOX genes as part of the Polycomb Complex to regulate segmental identity. BMI1 contains a ring-type, putative zinc finger and Polycomb-Group homology domain. BMI1 may complex with RING1. (from SWISS-PROT P35226, OMIM 164831, and NCI)
