Summary
This gene encodes a histone methyltransferase which regulates histone methylation, gene silencing, and transcriptional repression. This gene has been identified as a target for treatment in Huntington Disease, given that gene silencing and transcription dysfunction likely play a role in the disease pathogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

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.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) uses an alternate splice site in the 5' UTR, differs in the 3' UTR and lacks a large portion of the coding region, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (3) has a shorter and distinct C-terminus and lacks the histone methyltransferase and SET domains, compared to isoform 1. Variants 3 and 10-12 all encode the same isoform (3).
