Exons: 11 Introns: 10

Description:
PRMT1 belongs to the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) enzyme family. Post-translational modification of target proteins by PRMTs plays an important regulatory role in many biological processes, whereby PRMTs methylate arginine residues by transferring methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to terminal guanidino nitrogen atoms. The encoded protein is a type I PRMT and is responsible for the majority of cellular arginine methylation activity. It is involved in a variety of processes, including gene transcription, DNA repair, and signal transduction. It has been associated with human γ-globin gene silencing through association with a protein named friend of PRMT1, aka FOP [GeneID: 349]. PRMT1-mediated dimethyl H4R3 at HS2 of the βLCR has been shown to facilitate histone H3 acetylation on Lys9/Lys14 (AcH3K9/K14) and subsequent transcription of the adult β-globin gene.
