Hells - helicase, lymphoid specific Gene

Mus musculus

Also known as LSH; Lysh; PASG; YFK8; E130115I21Rik

Gene ID: 15201 | Gene type: protein coding

About Hells

Summary

Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin assembly; maintenance of DNA methylation; and pericentric heterochromatin assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including DNA methylation; cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; and negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in nucleus and pericentric heterochromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; neural retina; reproductive system; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome 4. Orthologous to human HELLS (helicase, lymphoid specific).
