Enables methylated histone binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of DNA demethylation; protection of DNA demethylation of female pronucleus; and regulation of genetic imprinting. Acts upstream of or within embryonic cleavage. Located in cytoplasm; female pronucleus; and male pronucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; gonad; hindgut diverticulum; and primordial germ cell.
