Ezh2 - enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit Gene
Species: Rattus norvegicus
About Ezh2
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 237 orthologues, 23 paralogues and is associated with 59 phenotypes. Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 228.6), Spleen (RPKM 17.5) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
Enables chromatin binding activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including histone H3-K27 methylation; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and positive regulation of dendrite development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Used to study endometriosis. Biomarker of leiomyoma; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; and pancreatic Cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Weaver syndrome; bone Cancer (multiple); gastrointestinal system Cancer (multiple); hematologic Cancer (multiple); and lung Cancer. Orthologous to human EZH2 (enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
