Official Full Name: arginine-glutamic acid dipeptide repeats
Also known as: ARG; ARP; DNB1; ATN1L; NEDBEH
This gene encodes a member of the atrophin family containing the arginine-glutamate (RE) dipeptide repeat sequence. The encoded protein colocalizes with transcription factors in the nucleus, and its overexpression triggers apoptosis. A similar protein associated with histone deacetylases in mice is thought to function as transcriptional co-repression during embryonic development. Multiple transcript variants of this gene have been found encoding different isoforms.
