NCBI Gene Info:Predicted to enable histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K9 specific) and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Ras protein signal transduction; histone H3-K9 methylation; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within chromatin organization and histone lysine methylation. Predicted to be located in chromosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder and lung cancer. Orthologous to human SETDB1 (SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 1).
