TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in the hippocampus with reduced expression in epileptic tissue compared to normal adjacent tissue (at protein level) (PubMed:28842554). Ubiquitous (PubMed:19808672). Expressed at moderate levels in all tissues examined (PubMed:19808672). Isoform 2: Most abundantly expressed isoform (PubMed:19808672). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19808672, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28842554}.

Chromosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19808672, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29177481}. Note=Recognizes and binds histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-9', dimethylated at 'Lys-27' and trimethylated at 'Lys-27' (H3K9me3, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, respectively) on chromatin (PubMed:19808672). Multimerization is required for chromatin-binding (PubMed:19808672). Recruited to sites of DNA double strand breaks in a PARP1-dependent fashion (PubMed:29177481). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19808672, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29177481}.
