Gene information for SUV39H1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6839
Official gene symbolSUV39H1
Full namesuppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog 1 (Drosophila)
Aliases,KMT1A,MG44,SUV39H,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog family and encodes a protein with a chromodomain and a C-terminal SET domain. This nuclear protein moves to the centromeres during mitosis and functions as a histone methyltransferase, methylating Lys-9 of histone H3. Overall, it plays a vital role in heterochromatin organization, chromosome segregation, and mitotic progression. [provided by RefSeq]
