MBD4 from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii involved in immune response by binding to methylated DNA sequences

Aquaculture Reports
DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification with a critical role in regulating gene expression and maintaining genomic stability. Methyl-CpG-binding protein 4 (MBD4) binds to the methylated sequences and regulates gene expression.
