    Summary
    Enables chromatin binding activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including histone H3-K27 methylation; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and positive regulation of dendrite development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Used to study endometriosis. Biomarker of leiomyoma; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; and pancreatic cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Weaver syndrome; bone cancer (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and lung cancer. Orthologous to human EZH2 (enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
