Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Histone methyltransferase involved in left-right axis specification in early development and mitosis. Specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me3). H3K9me3 is a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression that recruits HP1 (CBX1, CBX3 and/or CBX5) proteins to methylated histones. Contributes to H3K9me3 in both the interspersed repetitive elements and centromere-associated repeats. Plays a role in chromosome condensation and segregation during mitosis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:20404330}.
Subcellular Localization Nucleus {ECO:0000269PubMed:20404330}. Chromosome {ECO:0000305PubMed:20404330}.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Ubiquitous. Highest expression in heart, testis and ovary.
