CARM1（coactivator associated arginine methyltransferase 1），癌症关联基因，基因ID：10498，该基因属于蛋白质精氨酸甲基转移酶（prmt）家族。编码的酶催化蛋白质精氨酰残基胍基氮的甲基化这种酶特别作用于组蛋白和其他染色质相关蛋白，参与基因表达的调控该酶可能与其他蛋白质或多蛋白复合物一起作用，并可能在细胞类型特异性功能和细胞谱系规范中发挥作用一个相关的假基因位于9号染色体上[由RefSeq提供，2013年8月]This gene belongs to the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the methylation of guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues of proteins. The enzyme acts specifically on histones and other chromatin-associated proteins and is involved in regulation of gene expression. The enzyme may act in association with other proteins or within multi-protein complexes and may play a role in cell type-specific functions and cell lineage specification. A related pseudogene is located on chromosome 9. [provided by RefSeq， Aug 2013]。
