Type: | Family | Name: | DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3A |
Description: | In mammals, DNA methylation patterns are thought to be established during embryonic development by de novo DNA methyltransferases 3A and 3B (DNMT3A/3B) []. DNMT3A/3B work synergistically to propagate methylation patterns with DNMT3B stimulating DNMT3A activity by promoting its association with nucleosomes []. DNMT3A exists in an autoinhibitory form that can be activated by the histone H3 tail in a DNMT3L-independent manner []. DNMT3A has been linked to cancers [, , ]. | Short Name: | DNMT3A |
