Gene: CARM1
Alternate names for this Gene: PRMT4
Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the methylation of guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues of proteins. The enzyme acts specifically on histones and other chromatin-associated proteins and is involved in regulation of gene expression. The enzyme may act in association with other proteins or within multi-protein complexes and may play a role in cell type-specific functions and cell lineage specification. A related pseudogene is located on chromosome 9.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 19
Location in Chromosome : 19p13.2
Description of this Gene: coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
