Histone-Lysine N-Methyltransferase KMT5B

Preferred Label : Histone-Lysine N-Methyltransferase KMT5B;

NCIt synonyms : Su(Var)4-20 Homolog 1; EC 2.1.1.43; Lysine-Specific Methyltransferase 5B; Suv4-20h1; KMT5B; H4-K20-HMTase SUV420H1; Suppressor of Variegation 4-20 Homolog 1; Histone-Lysine N-Methyltransferase SUV420H1; Lysine N-Methyltransferase 5B;

NCIt definition : Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase KMT5B (855 aa, 99 kDa) is encoded by the human KMT5B gene. This protein may play a role in repression of transcription by RNA polymerase II, and in establishment of pericentric heterochromatin domains.;

NCIt note : Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase KMT5B specifically trimethylates the lysine at amino acid position 20 in histone H4. (UniProt);
