General description

High-mobility group protein B2 (HMGB2) is also termed as HMG1 (high-mobility group protein 1) and HMG2. This protein has two similar, but distinct HMG boxes (domains A and B) and a long acidic C-terminal tail. HMGB2 is located on human chromosome 4q.
This gene encodes a member of the non-histone chromosomal high mobility group protein family. The proteins of this family are chromatin-associated and ubiquitously distributed in the nucleus of higher eukaryotic cells. In vitro studies have demonstrated that this protein is able to efficiently bend DNA and form DNA circles. These studies suggest a role in facilitating cooperative interactions between cis-acting proteins by promoting DNA flexibility. This protein was also reported to be involved in the final ligation step in DNA end-joining processes of DNA double-strand breaks repair and V(D)J recombination. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

High-mobility group protein B2 (HMGB2) plays an important role in several cellular functions, from nuclear re-organization and DNA repair to cellular signaling. High expression of HMGB2 is linked with tumor aggressiveness and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
