Protein Domain : IPR030488

Type:  Family Name:  DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3B
Description:  In mammals, DNA methylation patterns are thought to be established during embryonic development by de novo DNA methyltransferases 3A and 3B (DNMT3A/3B) []. This entry represents DNMT3B. DNMT3A/3B work synergistically to propagate methylation patterns with DNMT3B stimulating DNMT3A activity by promoting its association with nucleosomes []. Many DNMT3B isoforms from alternative splicing have been described, among which DNMT3B3 stimulates the basal activity of DNMT3 enzymes, but partially inhibits the stimulatory effect of DNMT3L, whereas DNMT3B4 significantly impairs de novo methylation [, ]. DNMT3B is involved in development and is associated with several diseases, including cancers []. Short Name:  DNMT3B
