RCOR1REST corepressor 1 also known as CoREST is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RCOR1 gene.FunctionThis gene encodes a protein that is well-conserved, downregulated at birth, and with a specific role in determining neural cell differentiation. The encoded protein binds to the C-terminal domain of REST.InteractionsRCOR1 has been shown to interact with HDAC1, HDAC2, HMG20B, REST and PHF21A.
