Histone-Lysine N-Methyltransferase SUV420H2 Definition

The histone-lysine N-methyltransferase SUV420H2 (462 aa, 52 kD) is encoded by the human SUV420H2 gene. This soluble, nuclear protein may play a role in repression of transcription by RNA polymerase II, and in establishment of pericentric heterochromatin domains.
