| Primary Identifier | MGI:96995 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 214162 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and histone H3K4 methyltransferase activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression; definitive hemopoiesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including peptidyl-lysine monomethylation; spleen development; and visual learning. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; nervous system; retina; and trunk mesenchyme. Used to study acute lymphoblastic leukemia; acute myeloid leukemia; and leukemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia; cervical cancer; myelofibrosis; and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Orthologous to human KMT2A (lysine methyltransferase 2A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations die at embryonic day 11.5-14.5 with edematous bodies, petechiae, and hematopoietic insufficiency. Heterozygotes show reduced growth, hematopoietic abnormalities, and homeotic transformations of the axial skeleton. [provided by MGI curators] |
