ARID2
AT-rich interaction domain 2
Pathway candidate — not linked to PFS or PSSD by any record here
Gene summary
A protein-coding gene on chromosome 12 (epigenetic regulation). Encodes a member of the AT-rich interactive domain (ARID)-containing family of DNA-binding proteins. Members of the ARID family have roles in embryonic patterning, cell lineage gene regulation, cell cycle control, transcriptional regulation and chromatin structure modification.

Protein reference (UniProt)
- Protein
AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 2
- Function
Involved in transcriptional activation and repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology). Required for the stability of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF-B (PBAF). May be involved in targeting the complex to different genes. May be involved in regulating transcriptional activation of cardiac genes.
- Subcellular location
Nucleus.
- Tissue specificity
Highly expressed in heart.
- Associated conditions
Coffin-Siris syndrome 6 (CSS6).

Why its pathway is in the library
Epigenetic persistence is the leading hypothesis for why post-drug syndromes endure after the drug is gone; chromatin regulators are therefore priority candidates in any persistence mechanism.
Written for the whole epigenetic regulation family, not for ARID2 specifically.
Mentioned in 0 corpus records
No corpus record names ARID2 directly yet. It is in the library because it sits in a pathway the corpus tracks (Epigenetic regulation).
