Product Details

Description	Rabbit polyclonal to PRMT1.Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) is an arginine methyltransferase that methylates (monoand asymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues present in proteins such asESR1, histone H2, H3 and H4, PIAS1, HNRNPA1, HNRNPD, NFATC2IP, SUPT5H, TAF15 and EWS.PRMT1 constitutes the main enzyme that mediates monomethylation and asymmetric dimethylation ofhistone H4 'Arg-4' (H4R3me1 and H4R3me2a, respectively), a specific tag for epigenetictranscriptional activation. Together with dimethylated PIAS1, PRMT1 represses STAT1 transcriptionalactivity in the late phase of interferon gamma signaling. PRMT1 may also be involved inthe regulation of transcriptional activities of TAF15 and estrogen receptor (ER). IN addition, PRMT1can act as a negative regulator of megakaryocytic differentiation by modulating p38 MAPK pathway. -

About PRMT1
This gene encodes a member of the protein arginine N-methyltransferase (PRMT) family. Post-translational modification of target proteins by PRMTs plays an important regulatory role in many biological processes, whereby PRMTs methylate arginine residues by transferring methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to terminal guanidino nitrogen atoms. The encoded protein is a type I PRMT and is responsible for the majority of cellular arginine methylation activity. Increased expression of this gene may play a role in many types of cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene, and a pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 5.
