Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase activity and nucleic acid binding activity. Involved in autosome genomic imprinting; negative regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island methylation; and retrotransposon silencing by piRNA-directed DNA methylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to amino acid stimulus; cellular response to bisphenol A; and epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Located in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; limb mesenchyme; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Tatton-Brown-Rahman syndrome; hematologic cancer (multiple); and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human DNMT3A (DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha).
