BCORL1
Description
The BCORL1 (BCL6 corepressor like 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome X.
BCORL1 acts as a transcriptional corepressor, meaning it can suppress the expression of genes. It achieves this by binding to promoter regions of genes, often alongside specific DNA-binding proteins like BCL6. This binding can then recruit histone deacetylase enzymes, which modify histones (proteins that package DNA) and ultimately silence gene expression.
BCORL1 is also known as BCoR-L1, CXorf10, SHUVER.
