About Enhancer

Enhancer ID: E_02_0507
Species: human
Position : chrX:53079604-53081604
Biosample name:
Experiment class : High+Lowthroughput
Enhancer type: Enhancer
Disease: Neuroblastoma
Pubmed ID:  30051352
Enhancer experiment: Western blot, immunocytochemistry, hybridization to peptide arrays, chip SEQ, RT qPCR, chip PCR, statistical analysis
Enhancer experiment description: Testis-specific protein, Y-encoded-like 2 (TSPYL2) is an X-linked gene in the locus for several neurodevelopmental disorders. To identify other genes regulated by TSPYL2, here, we showed that Tspyl2 knockout mice had an increased level of H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) in the hippocampus, and TSPYL2 interacted with the H3K27 methyltransferase enhancer of zeste 2 (EZH2). Our group has shown that TSPYL2 directly regulates the transcription of genes for NMDA receptor subunits 2A (Grin2a) and 2B (Grin2b) in mice [9].
