General description

HMG20A (high mobility group 20A) is located on human chromosome 15q24. It is a high mobility group (HMG) domain-containing protein.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human HMG20A

Biochem/physiol Actions

HMG20A (high mobility group 20A) plays a role in neuronal differentiation as chromatin-associated protein. It overcomes the repressive effects of the neuronal silencer REST and induces the activation of neuronal-specific genes. The protein also acts as an inhibitor of HMG20B. It involved in the recruitment of the histone methyltransferase MLL and consequent increased methylation of histone H3 lysine 4.
HMG20A is essential for SNAI1 (snail family transcriptional repressor 1)-mediated epithelial to mesenchymal transition.
