SETDB2 SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 2

Gene ID: 83852, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CLLD8; CLLL8; KMT1F; C13orf4

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that contain a methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) and a SET domain and function as histone methyltransferases. This protein is recruited to heterochromatin and plays a role in the regulation of chromosome segregation. This region is commonly deleted in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Naturally-occuring readthrough transcription occurs from this gene to the downstream PHF11 (PHD finger protein 11) gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
