Generic protein structure example

SET and MYND domain-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMYD4 gene.[1][2]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of SMYD4 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Smyd4tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[7][8] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.[9][10][11]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[5][12] Twenty six tests were carried out on homozygous mutant adult mice, however no significant abnormalities were observed.[5]
