Product Details

Description	Rabbit polyclonal to CARM1.Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1 (CARM1) is also known as Protein arginine Nmethyltransferase4 (PRMT4), which catalyze the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-Lmethionineto the side chain nitrogens of arginine residues within proteins to form methylated argininederivatives and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. Protein arginine methylation has been implicated insignal transduction, metabolism of nascent pre-RNA, and transcriptional activation Methylates (monoandasymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues in several proteins involvedin DNA packaging, transcription regulation, pre-mRNA splicing, and mRNA stability. CARM1 isrecruited to promoters upon gene activation together with histone acetyltransferases fromEP300/P300 and p160 families, methylates histone H3 at 'Arg-17' (H3R17me), forming mainlyasymmetric dimethylarginine (H3R17me2a), leading to activate transcription via chromatin remodeling.

About CARM1
This gene belongs to the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the methylation of guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues of proteins. The enzyme acts specifically on histones and other chromatin-associated proteins and is involved in regulation of gene expression. The enzyme may act in association with other proteins or within multi-protein complexes and may play a role in cell type-specific functions and cell lineage specification. A related pseudogene is located on chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
