About Prmt8

Chromosome 6: 127,665,974-127,746,435 reverse strand.GRCm39:CM000999.3

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 281 orthologues, 7 paralogues and is associated with 9 phenotypes. Biased expression in cortex adult (RPKM 13.), frontal lobe adult (RPKM 11.1) and 6 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein-arginine N-methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in histone methylation; peptidyl-arginine methylation, to asymmetrical-dimethyl arginine; and protein homooligomerization. Predicted to act upstream of or within methylation. Predicted to be anchored component of the cytoplasmic side of the plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; heart; and lung. Orthologous to human PRMT8 (protein arginine methyltransferase 8).
