Source: NCBI Gene (ID 14055)
Symbol: Ezh1
Full name: enhancer of zeste 1 polycomb repressive complex 2 subunit
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: ENX-2
Summary: This gene encodes a member of the Polycomb-group (PcG) family. The encoded protein is interchangeable with the related Enhancer of zeste 2 (Ezh2) protein as a core component of the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), which methylates histone H3 at lysine 27 and results in the transcriptional repression of affected target genes. This complex is involved in carrying out cell-fate decisions during embryonic stem cell differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2014]
