    basic FUNCTION
  • having histone methyltransferase activity with a specificity for histone H3 in core histones
  • playing a role in the central nervous system development and function through the epigenetic histone modification
  • functions as a negative regulator in both the NFKB1- and type I interferon-mediated gene induction pathways
  • EHMT1, EHMT2 have an essential role in normal morphogenesis of the atrioventricular septum through regulation of the size of the atrioventricular cushion
  • EHMT1 is an essential Brown adipose tissue (BAT)-enriched lysine methyltransferase in the PRDM16 transcriptional complex and controls brown adipose cell fate
  • is an essential enzymatic switch that controls brown adipose cell fate and energy homeostasis
  • EHMT1, EHMT2 are epigenetic regulators involved in gamma-globin repression
  • EHMT1 and EHMT2 are differentially expressed in cortical areas
  • plays a critical and cell-autonomous role in synaptic scaling by responding to attenuated neuronal firing or sensory drive
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide

    small molecule metal binding,
  • Zn2+
  • protein
  • EHMT2/EHMT1-associating zinc finger molecule named WIZ that can interact with EHMT2 and EHMT1 independently but is more stable in the EHMT2/EHMT1 heteromeric complexes
  • interacting with MPHOSPH8
  • catalyzes H3K9 methylation at promoters of NFKB1 target genes
  • EHMT1 controls brown adipose cell fate and thermogenesis through the PRDM16 complex
  • WIZ interact with the transcription activation domain of EHMT1
