Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2C, Lysine N-methyltransferase 2C, 2.1.1.43, Homologous to ALR protein, Myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia protein 3, KMT2C, HALR, KIAA1506, MLL3
Histone methyltransferase. Methylates Lys-4 of histone H3. H3 Lys-4 methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Central component of the MLL2/3 complex, a coactivator complex of nuclear receptors, involved in transcriptional coactivation. KMT2C/MLL3 may be a catalytic subunit of this complex. May be involved in leukemogenesis and developmental disorder.
