Summary In human, the four current members of the microrchidia (morc) gene family share an N-terminal ATPase-like ATP-binding region and a CW four-cysteine zinc-finger motif. The protein encoded by this gene also has a nuclear matrix binding domain and a two-stra

Protein name MORC family CW-type zinc finger protein 4 (Zinc finger CW-type coiled-coil domain protein 2) (Zinc finger CW-type domain protein 4)
Protein function Histone methylation reader which binds to non-methylated (H3K4me0), monomethylated (H3K4me1), dimethylated (H3K4me2) and trimethylated (H3K4me3) 'Lys-4' on histone H3 (PubMed:26933034). The order of binding preference is H3K4me3 > H3K4me2 > H3K4
