Tyrosine-protein kinase, or Bromodomain adjacent to
zinc finger domain, 1B (BAZ1B) is an
enzyme that in humans is encoded by the BAZ1Bgene.[5][6][7]
Function
This gene encodes a member of the
bromodomain protein family. The bromodomain is a structural motif characteristic of proteins involved in
chromatin-dependent regulation of transcription. This gene is deleted in
Williams-Beuren syndrome, a
developmental disorder caused by deletion of multiple genes at 7q11.23.[7]
BAZ1B has been found to affect the activity of 448 other genes and is very important in the development of the
neural crest and the
face. Research suggests that changes in BAZ1B may have been involved in "
self-domesticating" humans.[8][9]
