General Information
Term histone H4 methyltransferase activity ID (Ontology) GO:0140939 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Catalysis of the reaction: Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a histone H4 = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a methylated histone H4. Histone methylation generally occurs on either an arginine or a lysine residue.[ PubMed:28450737 ]
Also Known As "histone H4 methylase activity" ; "histone H4 methylation"
