SETD2 SETD2 A gene on chromosome 3p21.31 that encodes a ubiquitously expressed histone methyltransferase that specifically methylates Lys-36 of histone H3. Lys-36 methylation is a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. SETD2 likely plays a role in chromatin structure modulation during elongation via its interaction with hyperphosphorylated POLR2A. It may also act as a promoter-binding transcription activator. |
