Summary
Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; cellular response to hyperoxia; and response to caffeine. Predicted to be located in chromosome, centromeric region; heterochromatin; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of catalytic complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Biomarker of anxiety disorder; congenital heart disease; fetal alcohol spectrum disorder; hepatocellular carcinoma; and prostatitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy 4; immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome 1; and thymoma. Orthologous to human DNMT3B (DNA methyltransferase 3 beta). [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.
