KMT5A lysine methyltransferase 5A

Gene ID: 387893, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SET8; SET07; SETD8; PR-Set7; PR/SET07

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that can monomethylate Lys-20 of histone H4 to effect transcriptional repression of some genes. The encoded protein is required for cell proliferation and plays a role in chromatin condensation. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]
