Setd5 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables histone H3K36 methyltransferase activity; histone H3K9 methyltransferase activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of DNA-templated transcription; regulation of chromatin organization; and regulation of synapse assembly. Located in euchromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 23. Orthologous to human SETD5 (SET domain containing 5).

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 mouse Setd5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
