About Ezh2

Chromosome 6: 47,507,073-47,572,275 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000999.3

This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 237 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 24 phenotypes. Biased expression in CNS E11.5 (RPKM 46.4), CNS E14 (RPKM 3.5) and 11 other tissues.

Summary

Enables several functions, including nucleic acid binding activity; protein methyltransferase activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in B cell differentiation; cell development; and regulation of circadian rhythm. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including macromolecule methylation; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in pericentric heterochromatin and pronucleus. Part of ESC/E(Z) complex and chromatin silencing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Used to study B-cell lymphoma; Weaver syndrome; and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Weaver syndrome; bone Cancer (multiple); gastrointestinal system Cancer (multiple); hematologic Cancer (multiple); and lung Cancer. Orthologous to human EZH2 (enhancer of zeste 2 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
