Biology:PRMT2

Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Generic protein structure example

Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PRMT2 gene.

Functions

The enzyme methylates final nitrogen atom of arginine residue in some proteins. It transfers two methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine.

Interactions

PRMT2 has been shown to interact with Estrogen receptor alpha and HNRPUL1.
