PRDM14 PR/SET domain 14

Gene ID: 63978, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PFM11

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the PRDI-BF1 and RIZ homology domain containing (PRDM) family of transcriptional regulators. The encoded protein may possess histone methyltransferase activity and plays a critical role in cell pluripotency by suppressing the expression of differentiation marker genes. Expression of this gene may play a role in breast cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
