Kmt2b - lysine methyltransferase 2B Gene
Also Known as Mll4; Wbp7; RGD1308331
Species: Rattus norvegicus
Summary
Predicted to enable Histone Methyltransferase activity (H3-K4 specific); unmethylated CpG binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in histone H3-K4 dimethylation; histone H3-K4 monomethylation; and positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin assembly; female gamete generation; and histone H3-K4 trimethylation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of Histone Methyltransferase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal adenocarcinoma; dystonia; and hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human KMT2B (lysine methyltransferase 2B).
