BMI1

Polycomb complex protein BMI-1 also known as polycomb group RING finger protein 4 (PCGF4) or RING finger protein 51 (RNF51) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BMI1 gene (B cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus integration site 1).

See PCGF2 and BMI1

Carcinogenesis

Carcinogenesis, also called oncogenesis or tumorigenesis, is the formation of a cancer, whereby normal cells are transformed into cancer cells.

See PCGF2 and Carcinogenesis

CBX2 (gene)

Chromobox protein homolog 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CBX2 gene. PCGF2 and CBX2 (gene) are genes on human chromosome 17 and human chromosome 17 gene stubs.

See PCGF2 and CBX2 (gene)

Chemokine

Chemokines, or chemotactic cytokines, are a family of small cytokines or signaling proteins secreted by cells that induce directional movement of leukocytes, as well as other cell types, including endothelial and epithelial cells.

See PCGF2 and Chemokine

Chemokine receptor

Chemokine receptors are cytokine receptors found on the surface of certain cells that interact with a type of cytokine called a chemokine.

See PCGF2 and Chemokine receptor

Chromodomain

A chromodomain (chromatin organization modifier) is a protein structural domain of about 40–50 amino acid residues commonly found in proteins associated with the remodeling and manipulation of chromatin.

See PCGF2 and Chromodomain

Cytokine

Cytokines are a broad and loose category of small proteins (~5–25 kDa) important in cell signaling.

See PCGF2 and Cytokine

Embryo

An embryo is the initial stage of development for a multicellular organism.

See PCGF2 and Embryo

Gene

In biology, the word gene has two meanings.

See PCGF2 and Gene

H3K27me3

H3K27me3 is an epigenetic modification to the DNA packaging protein Histone H3.

See PCGF2 and H3K27me3

Lymphocyte

A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell (leukocyte) in the immune system of most vertebrates.

See PCGF2 and Lymphocyte

PHC1

Polyhomeotic-like protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PHC1 gene.

See PCGF2 and PHC1

Polycomb repressive complex 1

Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1) is one of the two classes of Polycomb Repressive complexes, the other being PRC2.

See PCGF2 and Polycomb repressive complex 1

PRC2

PRC2 (polycomb repressive complex 2) is one of the two classes of polycomb-group proteins or (PcG).

See PCGF2 and PRC2

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

See PCGF2 and Protein

Repressor

In molecular genetics, a repressor is a DNA- or RNA-binding protein that inhibits the expression of one or more genes by binding to the operator or associated silencers.

See PCGF2 and Repressor

RING finger domain

In molecular biology, a RING (short for Really Interesting New Gene) finger domain is a protein structural domain of zinc finger type which contains a C3HC4 amino acid motif which binds two zinc cations (seven cysteines and one histidine arranged non-consecutively).

See PCGF2 and RING finger domain

RNF2

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RING2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RNF2 gene.

See PCGF2 and RNF2

Tumor suppressor gene

A tumor suppressor gene (TSG), or anti-oncogene, is a gene that regulates a cell during cell division and replication.

See PCGF2 and Tumor suppressor gene
