Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 10919
Gene name Euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 2
Gene symbol EHMT2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BAT8C6orf30G9AGAT8KMT1CNG36
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p21.33
Summary This gene encodes a methyltransferase that methylates lysine residues of histone H3. Methylation of H3 at lysine 9 by this protein results in recruitment of additional epigenetic regulators and repression of transcription. This gene was initially thought

Protein name Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EHMT2 (EC 2.1.1.-) (EC 2.1.1.367) (Euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2) (HLA-B-associated transcript 8) (Histone H3-K9 methyltransferase 3) (H3-K9-HMTase 3) (Lysine N-methyltransferase 1C) (Protein G9a)
Protein function Histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. H3K9me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 proteins to
