Ash1l - ASH1 like histone lysine methyltransferase

Predicted to enable histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K36 specific); histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K4 specific); and histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K9 specific). Predicted to be involved in histone H3-K36 dimethylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of intracellular signal transduction; reproductive structure development; and tarsal gland development. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant mental retardation 52. Orthologous to human ASH1L (ASH1 like histone lysine methyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
