About Cbx2

Summary

This gene encodes a component of the polycomb multiprotein complex, which is required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes throughout development via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones. Disruption of this gene in results in male-to-female gonadal sex reversal. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
