Kmt2c Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables histone H3K4 methyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including eyelid development in camera-type eye; positive regulation of fibroblast proliferation; and single fertilization. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of MLL3/4 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; limb; nervous system; and neural ectoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Kleefstra syndrome 2; carcinoma (multiple); and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human KMT2C (lysine methyltransferase 2C).

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 Kmt2c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
