Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables C2H2 zinc finger domain binding activity and protein-lysine N-methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including heterochromatin formation; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and peptidyl-lysine methylation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is active in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and respiratory system. Used to study Kleefstra syndrome 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Kleefstra syndrome and Kleefstra syndrome 1. Orthologous to human EHMT1 (euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 1).
