Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables several functions, including C2H2 zinc finger domain binding activity; promoter-specific chromatin binding activity; and protein-lysine N-methyltransferase activity. Involved in DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin formation and regulation of DNA replication. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including germ cell development; negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and response to cocaine. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; limb; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Orthologous to human EHMT2 (euchromatic histone lysine methyltransferase 2).
