DOT1L Gene Information

HGNC symbol
DOT1L 
Aliases
DOT1; KIAA1814; KMT4 
Common name
DOT1 like histone lysine methyltransferase 
Entrez Id
84444
Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that methylates lysine-79 of histone H3. It is inactive against free core histones, but shows significant histone methyltransferase activity against nucleosomes. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011].
