Kmt2e Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; methylated histone binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including neutrophil activation; positive regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in euchromatin and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of Rpd3L-Expanded complex and Set3 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder and cervical cancer. Orthologous to human KMT2E (lysine methyltransferase 2E (inactive)).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Kmt2e often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
