Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein-arginine N-methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in histone methylation; peptidyl-arginine methylation, to asymmetrical-dimethyl arginine; and protein homooligomerization. Predicted to act upstream of or within methylation. Predicted to be anchored component of the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; heart; and lung. Orthologous to human PRMT8 (protein arginine methyltransferase 8).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
