Protein name ATPase MORC2 (EC 3.6.1.-) (MORC family CW-type zinc finger protein 2) (Zinc finger CW-type coiled-coil domain protein 1)
Protein function Essential for epigenetic silencing by the HUSH (human silencing hub) complex. Recruited by HUSH to target site in heterochromatin, the ATPase activity and homodimerization are critical for HUSH-mediated silencing (PubMed:28581500, PubMed:2944075
