Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables several functions, including histone H3 reader activity; lncRNA binding activity; and methyl-CpG binding activity. Involved in DNA methylation-dependent constitutive heterochromatin formation and negative regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island methylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to bisphenol A; chromosomal DNA methylation maintenance following DNA replication; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus; pericentric heterochromatin; and replication fork. Is active in heterochromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Graves' disease; autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia, deafness and narcolepsy; hereditary sensory neuropathy; hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1E; and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human DNMT1 (DNA methyltransferase 1).
