Bromodomain-containing protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BRD2 gene.[1][2][3]

This gene encodes a mitogen-activated kinase which localizes to the nucleus. The gene maps to the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II region on chromosome 6p21.3 but sequence comparison suggests that the protein is not involved in the immune response. Homology to the Drosophila gene female sterile homeotic suggests that this human gene may be part of a signal transduction pathway involved in growth control.[3]

Interactions

BRD2 has been shown to interact with E2F2.[4][5]
