Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables C2H2 zinc finger domain binding activity; histone H3K27 methyltransferase activity; and histone H3K9 methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; peptidyl-lysine methylation; and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and respiratory system. Used to study Kleefstra syndrome 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Kleefstra syndrome and Kleefstra syndrome 1. Orthologous to human EHMT1 (euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 1).
