Facts about Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase KMT5B.
Mainly functions in pericentric heterochromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the organization of constitutive heterochromatin in these regions. KMT5B is targeted to histone H3 through its interaction with RB1 family proteins (RB1, RBL1 and RBL2) (By similarity).
