Transcriptional repressor (PubMed:12183469, PubMed:16415179). Acts as a component of the histone deacetylase NuRD complex which participates in the remodeling of chromatin (PubMed:16428440, PubMed:28977666). Enhances MBD2-mediated repression (PubMed:12183469, PubMed:16415179). Efficient repression requires the presence of GATAD2A (PubMed:16415179). Targets MBD3 to discrete loci in the nucleus (PubMed:11756549). May play a role in synapse development (PubMed:23644463).
