SETD8 Lysates

Histone methyltransferase that specifically monomethylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4. H4 'Lys-20'monomethylation is enriched during mitosis and represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression.Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes.Required for cell proliferation, probably by contributing to the maintenance of proper higher order structure of DNAduring mitosis. Involved in chromosome condensation and proper cytokinesis. Nucleosomes are preferred as substratecompared to free histones
