[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/KMT2A_HUMAN KMT2A_HUMAN]] Histone methyltransferase that plays an essential role in early development and hematopoiesis. Catalytic subunit of the MLL1/MLL complex, a multiprotein complex that mediates both methylation of 'Lys-4' of histone H3 (H3K4me) complex and acetylation of 'Lys-16' of histone H4 (H4K16ac). In the MLL1/MLL complex, it specifically mediates H3K4me, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. Has weak methyltransferase activity by itself, and requires other component of the MLL1/MLL complex to obtain full methyltransferase activity. Has no activity toward histone H3 phosphorylated on 'Thr-3', less activity toward H3 dimethylated on 'Arg-8' or 'Lys-9', while it has higher activity toward H3 acetylated on 'Lys-9'. Required for transcriptional activation of HOXA9. Promotes PPP1R15A-induced apoptosis.<ref>PMID:10490642</ref> <ref>PMID:12453419</ref> <ref>PMID:15960975</ref> <ref>PMID:19556245</ref> | [[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/KMT2A_HUMAN KMT2A_HUMAN]] Histone methyltransferase that plays an essential role in early development and hematopoiesis.
