SATB1 (special AT-rich sequence-binding protein-1) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the SATB1 gene. It is a dimeric/tetrameric transcription factor with multiple DNA binding domains (CUT1, CUT2 and a Homeobox domain). SATB1 specifically binds to AT-rich DNA sequences with high unwinding propensity called base unpairing regions (BURs), containing matrix attachment regions (MARs).

This gene encodes a matrix protein which binds nuclear matrix and scaffold-associating DNAs through a unique nuclear architecture. The protein recruits chromatin-remodeling factors in order to regulate chromatin structure and gene expression. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016].
