Studies in mice have demonstrated that DNA methylation is required for mammalian development. This gene encodes a DNA methyltransferase that is thought to function in de novo methylation, rather than maintenance methylation. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus and its expression is developmentally regulated. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]. * **UniProt Summary**: Required for genome-wide de novo methylation and is essential for the establishment of DNA methylation patterns during development. DNA methylation is coordinated with methylation of histones. It modifies DNA in a non-processive manner and also methylates non-CpG sites. May preferentially methylate DNA linker between 2 nucleosomal cores and is inhibited by histone H1. Plays a role in paternal and maternal imprinting. Required for methylation of most imprinted loci in germ cells. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for ZBTB18. Recruited to trimethylated 'Lys-36' of histone H3 (H3K36me3) sites. Can actively repress transcription through the recruitment of HDAC activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16357870}. |DNA methylase| |PWWP| |DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity| |C-5 methylation of cytosine| |DNA-methyltransferase activity| |DNA methylation on cytosine| |euchromatin| |DNA methylation involved in embryo development| |changes to DNA methylation involved in embryo development| |hepatocyte apoptotic process| |methylation-dependent chromatin silencing| |XY body| |cellular response to ethanol| |regulation of gene expression by genetic imprinting| |response to vitamin A| |DNA methylation involved in gamete generation| |nuclear heterochromatin| |genetic imprinting| |response to lead ion| |epithelial cell apoptotic process| |DNA alkylation| |DNA methylation| |chromosome, centromeric region| |response to cocaine| |chromatin silencing| |chromatin organization involved in negative regulation of transcription| |DNA methylation or demethylation| |cellular response to amino acid stimulus| |chromatin organization involved in regulation of transcription| |response to anesthetic| |negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic| |cellular response to alcohol| |response to vitamin| |DNA modification| |nuclear matrix| |response to alkaloid| |response to amino acid| |cellular response to antibiotic| |response to ethanol| |response to estradiol| |response to ionizing radiation| |gene silencing| |response to ammonium ion| |cellular response to hypoxia| |cellular response to decreased oxygen levels| |cellular response to acid chemical| |cellular response to toxic substance| |response to nutrient| |cellular response to oxygen levels| |response to alcohol| |regulation of gene expression, epigenetic| |transcription corepressor activity| |macromolecule methylation| |aging| |response to xenobiotic stimulus| |response to antibiotic| |methylation| |transcription factor binding| |response to hypoxia| |response to acid chemical| |cellular process involved in reproduction in multicellular organism| |response to decreased oxygen levels| |response to metal ion| |covalent chromatin modification| |response to oxygen levels| |chromatin binding| |cellular response to drug| |response to radiation| |response to nutrient levels| |RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding| |response to toxic substance| |response to extracellular stimulus| |response to inorganic substance| |spermatogenesis| |male gamete generation| |cellular response to organonitrogen compound| |cellular response to nitrogen compound| |mitotic cell cycle| |gamete generation| |positive regulation of cell death| |chromatin organization| |DNA metabolic process| |multicellular organismal reproductive process| |sexual reproduction| |multicellular organism reproduction| |response to lipid| |negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |response to hormone| |response to organic cyclic compound| |apoptotic process| |embryo development| |multi-organism reproductive process| |response to organonitrogen compound| |neuron differentiation| |response to drug| |programmed cell death| |cellular response to oxygen-containing compound| |chromosome organization| |identical protein binding| |response to nitrogen compound| |cell death| |response to abiotic stimulus| |negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |cellular response to endogenous stimulus| |negative regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |negative regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |negative regulation of RNA metabolic process| |cell cycle| |negative regulation of cellular macromolecule biosynthetic process| |reproductive process| |reproduction| |negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |DNA binding| |negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |response to endogenous stimulus| |negative regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |generation of neurons| |negative regulation of biosynthetic process| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |neurogenesis| |regulation of cell death| |cellular response to stress| |negative regulation of gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp478|Doxorubicin 0.02μM R08 exp478]]|-2.05| |[[:results:exp106|UM131593 0.2μM R03 exp106]]|-1.71| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
