Gene: KMT2D
Alternate names for this Gene: AAD10|ALR|CAGL114|KABUK1|KMS|MLL2|MLL4|TNRC21
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates the Lys-4 position of histone H3. The encoded protein is part of a large protein complex called ASCOM, which has been shown to be a transcriptional regulator of the beta-globin and estrogen receptor genes. Mutations in this gene have been shown to be a cause of Kabuki syndrome.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
Location in Chromosome : 12q13.12
Description of this Gene: lysine methyltransferase 2D
Type of Gene: protein-coding
