Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Probable methyltransferase (By similarity). Isoform 5 overexpression in lung progenitor cells stimulates smooth muscle- specific gene expression and suppresses adipogenic gene expression. Isoform 4 and isoform 7 stimulate adipogenesis. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269PubMed:15992539, ECO:0000269PubMed:18710950}.
Subcellular Localization Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269PubMed:15992539}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269PubMed:15992539}. Note=Isoform 5 localizes to the nucleus upon cell stretch in embryonic lung progenitor cells.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Isoform 5 is absent in undifferentiated embryonic lung mesenchymal cells, but expression is induced by stretch. Isoform 4 is expressed in undifferentiated progenitor cells, while its expression is inhibited by stretch. Isoform 2 is absent in embryonic lung but is induced in a fibroblast cell line by stretch. Isoform 7 is expressed in mature adipose tissue. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15992539}.
