Summary
Enables chromatin binding activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including GABAergic synaptic transmission; negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of dendrite development. Predicted to be located in chromosomal region and nucleus. Predicted to be part of ESC/E(Z) complex and chromatin silencing complex. Predicted to be active in chromosome and nucleus. Used to study endometriosis. Biomarker of leiomyoma; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; and pancreatic cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Weaver syndrome; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); glioblastoma; hematologic cancer (multiple); and renal Wilms' tumor. Orthologous to human EZH2 (enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
