Summary: Predicted to contribute to histone acetyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in histone acetylation and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic; positive regulation of striated muscle cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nuclear membrane and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Piccolo NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel endothelium; brain; heart; retina; and skeletal muscle. Orthologous to human EPC1 (enhancer of polycomb homolog 1).

What's a GeneRIF?

Results report that EPC1 and TIP60 are co-expressed in male germ cells. Genetic ablation of either Epc1 or Tip60 disrupts hyperacetylation and impairs histone replacement, in turn causing aberrant spermatid development.
Title: EPC1/TIP60-Mediated Histone Acetylation Facilitates Spermiogenesis in Mice.
results indicate that Epc1 induces vascular smooth muscle differentiation by interacting with myocardin to induce serum response factor-dependent smooth muscle genes; propose that Epc1 acts as a novel negative regulator of neointima formation after carotid injury
Title: Enhancer of polycomb1 lessens neointima formation by potentiation of myocardin-induced smooth muscle differentiation.
Epc1-induced enhancements of SRF-dependent multinucleation, transactivation of the skeletal alpha-actin promoter, binding of SRF to the serum response element, and muscle-specific gene induction were blocked by RFP.
Title: Ret finger protein inhibits muscle differentiation by modulating serum response factor and enhancer of polycomb1.
Epc1 is required for skeletal muscle differentiation by recruiting both SRF and p300 to the SRE of muscle-specific gene promoters
Title: Enhancer of polycomb1 acts on serum response factor to regulate skeletal muscle differentiation.
showed that E2F6, DP1, EPC1, EZH2, and Sin3B co-elute, suggesting the identification of a novel E2F6 complex that exists in vivo in both normal and transformed human cell lines
Title: A novel repressive E2F6 complex containing the polycomb group protein, EPC1, that interacts with EZH2 in a proliferation-specific manner.
Epc1 plays a role in the initiation of skeletal muscle differentiation, and its interaction with Hop is required for the full activity.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
