Facts about DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1.
Methylates CpG residues.
Associates with DNA replication sites in S phase maintaining the methylation pattern in the newly synthesized strand, that is vital for epigenetic inheritance.Associates with chromatin during G2 and M phases to maintain DNA methylation independently of replication. It's in charge of maintaining methylation patterns based in evolution.

Ubiquitous; highly expressed in fetal tissues, heart, kidney, placenta, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and expressed at lower levels in spleen, lung, brain, small intestine, colon, liver, and skeletal muscle. Isoform 2 is less expressed than isoform 1.
