背景(Background)
This gene is located on the X chromosome and is subject to X inactivation. It is highly conserved in vertebrates and most abundantly expressed in the brain. The encoded protein is a component of histone deacetylase-containing multiprotein complexes that function through modifying chromatin structure to keep genes silent. A chromosomal translocation (X;13) involving this gene is associated with X-linked mental retardation. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

功能
disease:A chromosomal aberration involving ZMYM3 may be a cause of X-linked mental retardation in Xq13.1. Translocation t(X;13)(q13.1;?).,similarity:Contains 9 MYM-type zinc fingers.,subunit:May be a component of a BHC histone deacetylase complex that contains HDAC1, HDAC2, HMG20B/BRAF35, AOF2/LSD1, RCOR1/CoREST, PHF21A/BHC80, ZMYM2, ZNF217, ZMYM3, GSE1 and GTF2I.,tissue specificity:Most abundant in brain, moderate in muscle and heart, low in other tissues except placenta.,
