Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chromosome segregation; heterochromatin organization; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division; chromatin organization; and methylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; nervous system; and nose. Orthologous to human SETDB2 (SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 2).
