    Summary
    Encodes a SU(VAR)3-9 homolog, a SET domain protein. Known SET domain proteins are involved in epigenetic control of gene expression and act as histone methyltransferases. There are 10 SUVH genes in Arabidopsis and members of this subfamily of the SET proteins have an additional conserved SRA domain. Gene is expressed in rosettes, stems, floral buds, and flowers by RT-PCR.
