Target Details for REST

Target: REST (RE1-Silencing Transcription Factor (REST))

Alternative Name: REST

Background: Synonyms:NRSF, REST, X2 box repressor, XBR Background:Transcriptional repressor which binds neuron-restrictive silencer element(NRSE) and represses neuronal gene transcription in non-neuronal cells. Restricts the expression of neuronal genes by associating with two distinct corepressors, mSin3 and CoREST, which in turn recruit histone deacetylase to the promoters of REST-regulated genes. Mediates repression by recruiting the BHC complex at RE1/NRSE sites which acts by deacetylating and demethylating specific sites on histones, thereby acting as a chromatin modifier. Transcriptional repression by REST-CDYL via the recruitment of histone methyltransferase EHMT2 may be important in transformation suppression.
