About SETDB2

Cytogenetic location: 13q14.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 13:49,444,274-49,495,003 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 219 orthologues and 19 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 6.5), lymph node (RPKM 5.5) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that contain a methyl-CpG-binding domain (MBD) and a SET domain and function as histone methyltransferases. This protein is recruited to heterochromatin and plays a role in the regulation of chromosome segregation. This region is commonly deleted in chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Naturally-occuring readthrough transcription occurs from this gene to the downstream PHF11 (PHD finger protein 11) gene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
