About Ehmt2

Chromosome 17: 35,117,445-35,133,028 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001010.3

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 210 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 22 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in ovary adult (RPKM 86.7), testis adult (RPKM 83.8) and 28 other tissues.

Summary

Enables several functions, including C2H2 zinc finger domain binding activity; histone-lysine N-methyltransferase activity; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in DNA methylation; histone methylation; and regulation of DNA replication. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including macromolecule methylation; negative regulation of autophagosome assembly; and response to cocaine. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; limb; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Orthologous to human EHMT2 (euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 2).
