DNMT3L antibody, D6Ertd14e antibody, ecat7 antibody, DNA methyltransferase 3 like antibody, DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase 3-like antibody, DNMT3L antibody, Dnmt3l antibody
Background
MDnmt3L (DNA methyltransferase 3L) does not appear to be catalytically active due to loss of the critical active site residues. It may function not directly as a DNA methyltransferase but rather as a regulator of methylation at imprinted loci. It is required specifically for the establishment of genomic imprints but is dispensable for their propagation. It is essential for the de novo methylation of single-copy DNA sequences. The protein is well-express in testis, thymus, ovary, and heart. mDnmt3L, which belongs to the 5-cytosine methyltransferase family, contains 1 ADD-type zinc finger.
