BRD8 bromodomain containing 8

Gene ID: 10902, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SMAP; p120; SMAP2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene interacts with thyroid hormone receptor in a ligand-dependent manner and enhances thyroid hormone-dependent activation from thyroid response elements. This protein contains a bromodomain and is thought to be a nuclear receptor coactivator. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode distinct isoforms have been identified.
