Summary
Enables DNA binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and histone H3K4 methyltransferase activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression; definitive hemopoiesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including peptidyl-lysine monomethylation; spleen development; and visual learning. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; nervous system; retina; and trunk mesenchyme. Used to study acute lymphoblastic leukemia; acute myeloid leukemia; and leukemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia; cervical cancer; myelofibrosis; and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Orthologous to human KMT2A (lysine methyltransferase 2A).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
