Uniprot Function Description

Protein-lysine N-methyltransferase that monomethylates both histones and non-histone proteins (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:17707234, PubMed:27338793). Specifically monomethylates 'Lys-20' of histone H4 (H4K20me1) (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:27338793, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:16517599). H4K20me1 is enriched during mitosis and represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:16517599). Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:16517599). Required for cell proliferation, probably by contributing to the maintenance of proper higher-order structure of DNA during mitosis (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:16517599). Involved in chromosome condensation and proper cytokinesis (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:16517599). Nucleosomes are preferred as substrate compared to free histones (PubMed:12086618, PubMed:12121615, PubMed:15964846, PubMed:15200950, PubMed:15933069, PubMed:15933070, PubMed:16517599). Mediates monomethylation of p53/TP53 at 'Lys-382', leading to repress p53/TP53-target genes (PubMed:17707234). Plays a negative role in TGF-beta response regulation and a positive role in cell migration (PubMed:23478445).

Sample type

Recommended sample types are human plasma and serum. For other sample types e.g cerebrospinal fluid, (CSF), tissue or cell lysate, please contact support@olink.com for more information. Please note that protein expression levels are expected to vary in different sample types and certain assays may be affected by interfering substances such as hemolysate.

Precision

Precision (repeatability) is calculated from linearized NPX values over LOD.

Dilution factor

For optimal assay readout, Olink assays are run using different dilutions of the original samples e.g. undiluted, 1:10, or higher. The dilution factor for this assay is noted below and should be taken into account when estimating the appropriate addressable biological concentration of the protein based on the in vitro validation data.
