PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	C-terminal region of CHP2 contains a nuclear export sequence (NES), that, with calcium, control the subcellular distribution of CHP2 (
	N-myristolated and include EF-hand motifs that bind Ca2+ (

HOMOLOGY

FAMILY

calcineurin B homologous protein family

CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm

basic FUNCTION	serves as an obligatory subunit that is required both for supporting the basic activity and regulating the pH-sensing of SLC9A1 via interactions between distinct parts of these proteins )
	required for histone H3 lysine 14 (H3K14) deacetylation, and mediates transcriptional repression by limiting RNA polymerase II access to heterochromatin
	involved in transcriptional silencing at heterochromatic regions (

small molecule

protein	associates with the histone histone deacetylase complex, is required for histone H3 lysine 14 (H3K14) deacetylation, and mediates transcriptional repression by limiting RNA polymerase II access to heterochromatin
	interaction between CHP2 and SLC9A 1 (NHE1), two membrane proteins, is essential for protecting cells from serum deprivation-induced death
