Definition
English
:
A
histone-lysine N-methyltransferase
and catalytic subunit of
Polycomb Repressive Complex 2
. It methylates
LYSINE
9 (H3K9me) and
LYSINE
27 (H3K27me) of HISTONE H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene. EZH2 also methylates non-histone
proteins
such as
GATA4 TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR
and the nuclear receptor RORA. It regulates
CIRCADIAN CLOCKS
via histone
methylation
at the PROMOTER REGIONS of the circadian genes and its repressive activity is also important for the identity and differentiation of
EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS.
