功能

该基因编码的蛋白属于多梳家族（PcG）成员。PcG家族成员相互结合形成多聚蛋白复合物，这种复合物涉及到在细胞世代间维持基因的转录抑制状态。EZH2主要通过将三个甲基基团加到组蛋白3的27号赖氨酸（H3K27）上行使基因沉默者的角色，三甲基化H3K27是维持染色质凝聚的一种重要修饰^[4]。

该蛋白与胚胎外胚层发育蛋白（EED）、癌蛋白VAV1和X连锁核蛋白（XNP）之间关系密切。EZH2蛋白可能在造血系统和中枢神经系统中起到重要作用^[3]。

临床意义

EZH2基因中的突变导致韦弗综合征^[5]。miR-101在正常情况下阻止编码EZH2的mRNA进入翻译阶段。因此这一微RNA的基因一旦缺失就会导致产生过量的EZH2^[6]。EZH2过多表达可能导致癌症形成，这是因为过多地组蛋白甲基化抑癌基因将导致其表达沉默。一种靶向EZH2药物的临床前模型显示其能够抑制脑癌及前列腺癌的进展^[7][8]。
