Protein name Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2 (EC 2.1.1.356) (ENX-1) (Enhancer of zeste homolog 2) (Lysine N-methyltransferase 6)
Protein function Polycomb group (PcG) protein. Catalytic subunit of the PRC2/EED-EZH2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' (H3K9me) and 'Lys-27' (H3K27me) of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. Able to mono-, di- and trime
