Setdb2 - SET domain, bifurcated 2

Predicted to enable histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K9 specific). Predicted to be involved in several processes, including heterochromatin organization; histone H3-K9 methylation; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division; chromatin organization; and methylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; nervous system; and nose. Orthologous to human SETDB2 (SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 2).
