DPY30

This gene encodes an integral core subunit of the SET1/MLL family of H3K4 methyltransferases. The encoded protein directly controls cell cycle regulators and plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of human hematopoietic progenitor cells. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]

Dpy-30, Histone Methyltransferase Complex Regulatory Subunit

As part of the MLL1/MLL complex, involved in the methylation of histone H3 at 'Lys-4', particularly trimethylation. Histone H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. May play some role in histone H3 acetylation. In a teratocarcinoma cell, plays a crucial role in retinoic acid-induced differentiation along the neural lineage, regulating gene induction and H3 'Lys-4' methylation at key developmental loci. May also play an indirect or direct role in endosomal transport.
