Histone-Lysine N-Methyltransferase SUV39H2 Definition
The histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SUV39H2 (410 aa, 47 kD) is encoded by the human SUV39H2 gene. This soluble, nuclear protein plays a role in establishment of constitutive heterochromatin at pericentric and telomeric regions. Trimethylation of H3K9 is also required to direct DNA methylation at pericentric repeats.
