PRMT9 protein arginine methyltransferase 9

Gene ID: 90826, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PRMT10

Summary

This gene encodes a type II methyltransferase. Post-translational modification of target proteins by PRMTs plays an important regulatory role in many biological processes, whereby PRMTs methylate arginine residues by transferring methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the guanidino nitrogen atoms of arginine. The protein encoded by this gene methylates spliceosome associated protein 145 to regulate alternative splicing and acts as a modulator of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein maturation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2017]
