Gene: SETD1A
Alternate names for this Gene: EPEDD|KMT2F|NEDSID|Set1|Set1A
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a component of a histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex that produces mono-, di-, and trimethylated histone H3 at Lys4. Trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me3) is a chromatin modification known to generally mark the transcription start sites of active genes. The protein contains SET domains, a RNA recognition motif domain and is a member of the class V-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 16
Location in Chromosome : 16p11.2
Description of this Gene: SET domain containing 1A, histone lysine methyltransferase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
