Gene: BRD8

Alternate names for this Gene: SMAP|SMAP2|p120

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q31.2

Description of this Gene: bromodomain containing 8

Type of Gene: protein-coding
