    Summary
    Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to ethanol; hepatocyte apoptotic process; and positive regulation of cellular response to hypoxia. Located in nucleus. Used to study lung carcinoma and middle cerebral artery infarction. Biomarker of congenital heart disease; hepatocellular carcinoma; and prostatitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome; hematologic cancer (multiple); and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human DNMT3A (DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha).

    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.
