Protein Domain : DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3A

Primary Identifier  IPR030487 Type  Family
Short Name  DNMT3A
description  In mammals, DNA methylation patterns are thought to be established during embryonic development by de novo DNA methyltransferases 3A and 3B (DNMT3A/3B) []. DNMT3A/3B work synergistically to propagate methylation patterns with DNMT3B stimulating DNMT3A activity by promoting its association with nucleosomes []. DNMT3A exists in an autoinhibitory form that can be activated by the histone H3 tail in a DNMT3L-independent manner []. DNMT3A has been linked to cancers [, , ].
