GSK2801

GSK2801 is a A Selective Chemical Probe for BAZ2B/A bromodomains. BAZ2A/B belong to a family of ubiquitously expressed bromodomain containing proteins. Proteins of the BAZ family are characterized by a carboxy-terminal bromodomain adjacent to a PHD finger and a WACZ motif. In addition four other conserved motifs are typically found in the N-terminus of BAZ family members, namely the LH motif (a leucine-rich helical domain), the ZB2 motif and the BAZ 1 and BAZ 2 motifs. Little is known about the biological function of BAZ2B but it has been suggested to regulate nucleosome mobilization by the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factor ISWI.
