PRDM7 sirna
PRDM7 siRNA (Human)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that may have roles in transcription and other nuclear processes. The encoded protein contains a KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) domain -A box and a SET (Su(var)3-9, Enhancer-of-zeste, Trithorax) domain and may function as a histone methyltransferase.

Uniprot Description
PRDM7: a probable histone methyltransferase. The mouse orthologous protein seems not to exist. Human PRDM7 and PRDM9 genes, a pair of close paralogs corresponding to a single mouse gene Prdm9, may have been generated by a recent gene duplication event after the divergence of the ancestors of human and mouse. Three isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 16q24.3
Cellular Component: chromosome; nucleus
Molecular Function: nucleic acid binding; histone-lysine N-methyltransferase activity
