Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and metal ion binding activity. Involved in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Located in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including AB lineage cell; hermaphrodite gonad; hypodermis; neurons; and vulva. Orthologous to human BAZ2A (bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain 2A) and BAZ2B (bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain 2B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

baz-2 enhances systemic proteostasis in vivo by regulating acetylcholine metabolism.
Title: baz-2 enhances systemic proteostasis in vivo by regulating acetylcholine metabolism.
a neuronal epigenetic reader, BAZ-2, and a neuronal histone 3 lysine 9 methyltransferase, SET-6, accelerate behavioural deterioration in C. elegans by reducing mitochondrial function, repressing the expression of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins; genome-wide RNA-interference screen in C. elegans has unravelled conserved epigenetic negative regulators of ageing, suggesting possible ways to achieve healthy ageing
Title: Two conserved epigenetic regulators prevent healthy ageing.
