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._x000D_ HMG20A is essential for SNAI1 (snail family transcriptional repressor 1)-mediated epithelial to mesenchymal transition._x000D_ Sequence_x000D_ Synthetic peptide located within the following region: ENLMTSSTLPPLFADEDGSKESNDLATTGLNHPEVPYSSGATSSTNNPEF
