KMT3C, HSKM-B, ZMYND14, N-lysine methyltransferase SMYD2, Histone methyltransferase SMYD2, Lysine N-methyltransferase 3C, SET and MYND domain-containing protein 2, SMYD2
Protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that methylates both histones and non-histone proteins, including p53/TP53 and RB1. Specifically methylates histone H3 Lys-4 (H3K4me) and dimethylates histone H3 Lys-36 (H3K36me2). Shows even higher methyltransferase activity on p53/TP53. Monomethylates Lys-370 of p53/TP53, leading to decreased DNA-binding activity and subsequent transcriptional regulation activity of p53/TP53. Monomethylates RB1 at Lys-860.
