Summary: Enables chromatin binding activity and histone H3R2 methyltransferase activity. Involved in negative regulation of ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cellular senescence; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PRMT6 (protein arginine methyltransferase 6).

It was confirmed that PRMT6 was involved in the process of adipocyte differentiation. In addition, PRMT6 interacted with, but did not methylate, PPARgamma. PRMT6 bound to the PPARresponsive regulatory element of the adipocyte Protein 2 (aP2) promoter in conjunction with PPARgamma and generated the repressive epigenetic mark arginine 2 on histone H3 asymmetric dimethylation, which suppressed aP2 gene expression.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) is spliced compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
