Facts about Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2A.
From the MLL1/MLL complex, it specifically mediates H3K4me, a particular tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation (PubMed:12453419, PubMed:20677832, PubMed:26886794). Has weak methyltransferase activity by itself, and requires other component of the MLL1/MLL complex to acquire whole methyltransferase activity (PubMed:19187761, PubMed:26886794).
