The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000158636 (EMSY, EMSY transcriptional repressor, BRCA2 interacting) is as follows. Regulator which is able to repress transcription, possibly via its interaction with a multiprotein chromatin remodeling complex that modifies the chromatin (PubMed:14651845). Its interaction with BRCA2 suggests that it may play a central role in the DNA repair function of BRCA2 (PubMed:14651845). Mediates ligand-dependent transcriptional activation by nuclear hormone receptors (PubMed:19131338). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14651845, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19131338}.
