RBBP5

Also known as RBQ3, SWD1, retinoblastoma binding protein 5, RB binding protein 5, histone lysine methyltransferase complex subunit

Retinoblastoma-binding protein 5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RBBP5 gene.

Gene data

RBBP5

Name: RB binding protein 5, histone lysine methyltransferase complex subunit
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: RBQ3, SWD1

This gene encodes a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein which belongs to a highly conserved subfamily of WD-repeat proteins. The encoded protein binds directly to retinoblastoma protein, which regulates cell proliferation. It interacts preferentially with the underphosphorylated retinoblastoma protein via the E1A-binding pocket B. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010].
