Background
This gene encodes a DNA binding protein that specifically binds nuclear matrix attachment regions. The encoded protein is involved in transcription regulation and chromatin remodeling. Defects in this gene are associated with isolated cleft palate and mental retardation. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein.

Function
disease:Chromosomal aberrations involving SATB2 are found in isolated cleft palate. Translocation t(2;7); translocation t(2;11).,disease:Defects in SATB2 are the cause of isolated cleft palate with mental retardation [MIM:119540]. Patients manifest cleft palate, craniofacial dysmorphism and profound mental retardation.,function:May play an important role in palate formation.,similarity:Belongs to the CUT homeobox family.,similarity:Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.,similarity:Contains 2 CUT DNA-binding domains.,tissue specificity:High expression in adult brain, moderate expression in fetal brain, and weak expression in adult liver, kidney, and spinal cord and in select brain regions, including amygdala, corpus callosum, caudate nucleus, and hippocampus.,
