Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including lysine-acetylated histone binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein methyltransferase activity. Involved in membrane depolarization and response to potassium ion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of MLL1 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia; cervical cancer; mixed phenotype acute leukemia; and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Orthologous to human KMT2A (lysine methyltransferase 2A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

Preceding puberty, MLL1 changes the chromatin configuration at the promoters of Kiss1 and Tac3, two genes required for puberty to occur, from repressive to permissive. Mll1 knockdown reduced Kiss1 and Tac3 expression, which delayed puberty and disrupted reproductive cyclicity.

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.
