Histone-Lysine N-Methyltransferase SUV39H2

Preferred Label : Histone-Lysine N-Methyltransferase SUV39H2;

NCIt synonyms : Su(var)3-9 homolog 2; H3-K9-HMTase 2; Suv3-9h2; EC 2.1.1.43; Lysine N-methyltransferase 1B; Suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog 2;

NCIt definition : Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SUV39H2 (410 aa, 47 kDa) is encoded by the human SUV39H2 gene. This soluble, nuclear protein plays a role in establishment of constitutive heterochromatin at pericentric and telomeric regions. Trimethylation of H3K9 is also required to direct DNA methylation at pericentric repeats.;
