Entrez Gene summary for KMT2B Gene:

This gene encodes a protein which contains multiple domains including a CXXC zinc finger, three PHD zinc fingers,

two FY-rich domains, and a SET (suppressor of variegation, enhancer of zeste, and trithorax) domain. The SET

domain is a conserved C-terminal domain that characterizes proteins of the MLL (mixed-lineage leukemia) family.

This gene is ubiquitously expressed in adult tissues. It is also amplified in solid tumor cell lines, and may be

involved in human cancer. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been

reported for this gene, however, the full length nature of the shorter transcript is not known. (provided by

RefSeq, Jul 2008)

GeneCards Summary for KMT2B Gene:

KMT2B (lysine (K)-specific methyltransferase 2B) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with KMT2B include leukemia. GO annotations related to this gene include histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K4 specific) and sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: KMT2B_HUMAN, Q9UMN6

Function: Histone methyltransferase. Methylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a

specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Plays a central role in beta-globin locus transcription

regulation by being recruited by NFE2. Plays an important role in controlling bulk H3K4me during oocyte growth

and preimplantation development. Required during the transcriptionally active period of oocyte growth for the

establishment and/or maintenance of bulk H3K4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), global transcriptional silencing that

preceeds resumption of meiosis, oocyte survival and normal zygotic genome activation

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: KMT2B_HUMAN, Q9UMN6 (See protein sequence)

Recommended Name: Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2B

Size: 2715 amino acids; 293515 Da

Subunit: Component of the menin-associated histone methyltransferase complex, at least composed of KMT2B/MLL4,

ASH2L, RBBP5, WDR5, DPY30, MEN1; the complex interacts with POLR2A and POLR2B via MEN1. Interacts with NFE2.

Interacts with KDM6B

Caution: This protein was first named MLL2 by PubMed:10637508 and PubMed:10409430. MLL2 corresponds to another

protein located on chromosome 12 (see AC O14686). Thus, KMT2B/MLL4 is often referred to as MLL2 and vice versa in

the literature
