Also known as: pc; M33; MOD2
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]
Expression: Broad expression in CNS E11.5 (RPKM 13.9), limb E14.5 (RPKM 8.1) and 21 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
