Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MBD4 gene. It is mapped to 3q21.3. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of a family of nuclear proteins related by the presence of a methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD). These proteins are capable of binding specifically to methylated DNA, and some members can also repress transcription from methylated gene promoters. This protein contains an MBD domain at the N-terminus that functions both in binding to methylated DNA and in protein interactions and a C-terminal mismatch-specific glycosylase domain that is involved in DNA repair. Alteatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
