Description

SET domain lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) catalyze the addition of methyl groups to lysine residues. SET domain KMTs possess a domain that was original characterized in the D.mel KMTs Su(var)3-9, E(z) and trx. (Adapted from FBrf0216343).

Notes on Group

upSET has not been included as it lacks key amino acids required lysine methyltransferase activity (FBrf0220189).
