Protein arginine methyltransferase 5
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PRMT5 gene.[5][6] PRMT5 symmetrically dimethylates H2AR3, H4R3, H3R2, and H3R8 in vivo, all of which are linked to a range of transcriptional regulatory events.[7]

PRMT5 is a highly conserved arginine methyltransferase that translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus at embryonic day ~E8.5, and during preimplantation development at the ~4-cell stage.[8]
