additional sex combs like transcriptional regulator 1

This gene is similar to the Drosophila additional sex combs gene, which encodes a chromatin-binding protein required for normal determination of segment identity in the developing embryo. The protein is a member of the Polycomb group of proteins, which are necessary for the maintenance of stable repression of homeotic and other loci. The protein is thought to disrupt chromatin in localized areas, enhancing transcription of certain genes while repressing the transcription of other genes. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a ligand-dependent co-activator for retinoic acid receptor in cooperation with nuclear receptor coactivator 1. Mutations in this gene are associated with myelodysplastic syndromes and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

additional sex combs like transcriptional regulator 3

This gene encodes a protein containing a plant homeodomain (PHD) zinc finger domain that plays a role in the regulation of gene transcription. The encoded protein has been shown to negatively regulate lipogenesis by binding to and inhibiting the transcriptional activity of two nuclear hormone receptors, oxysterols receptor LXR-alpha (LXRalpha) and thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRbeta). The encoded protein may also inhibit histone deubiquitination. Mutations in this gene have been identified in human patients with Bainbridge-Ropers syndrome, which is characterized by feeding difficulties, developmental delay and other features.
