Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| Name | EHMT2 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | BAT8, C6orf30, G9A, KMT1C, NG36 |
| Function | Histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. H3K9me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 proteins to methylated histones. Also mediates monomethylation of 'Lys-56' of histone H3 (H3K56me1) in G1 phase, leading to promote interaction between histone H3 and PCNA and regulating DNA replication. Also weakly methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3 (H3K27me). Also required for DNA methylation, the histone methyltransferase activity is not required for DNA methylation, suggesting that these 2 activities function independently. Probably targeted to histone H3 by different DNA-binding proteins like E2F6, MGA, MAX and/or DP1. May also methylate histone H1. In addition to the histone methyltransferase activity, also methylates non-histone proteins: mediates dimethylation of 'Lys-373' of p53/TP53. Also methylates CDYL, WIZ, ACIN1, DNMT1, HDAC1, ERCC6, KLF12 and itself. Recruited to the promoters of target genes through interaction with transcriptional repressor MSX1, leading to the inhibition of myoblast differentiation via transcriptional repression of differentiation factors (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Nucleus. Chromosome. Note=Associates with euchromatic regions (PubMed:11316813). Does not associate with heterochromatin (PubMed:11316813). |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in all tissues examined, with high levels in fetal liver, thymus, lymph node, spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes and lower level in bone marrow |

Background
BAT8, also known as G9A, is a lysine-preferring histone methyltransferase. H3 Lys-9 methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 proteins to methylated histones. The presence of the ankyrin repeats also suggests that BAT8 is involved in intracellular protein-protein interaction. Like Suv39h1, BAT8 transfers methyl groups to the lysine residues of histone H3, but with a 10- to 20-fold higher activity. BAT8 was able to add methyl groups to lys27 as well as lys9 in histone H3, compared with Suv39h1, which was able only to methylate lys9. BAT8 is localized to the nucleus but not in the repressive chromatin domains of centromeric loci, in which Suv39h1 family proteins were localized. This protein is probably targeted to histone H3 by different DNA-binding proteins like E2F6, MGA, MAX and/or DP1. BAT8 also methylates histone H1.
