Morc2 - MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2

Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; metal ion binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chromatin organization; negative regulation of single stranded viral RNA replication via double stranded DNA intermediate; and positive regulation of DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol; heterochromatin; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease axonal type 2Z. Orthologous to human MORC2 (MORC family CW-type zinc finger 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
