SETD7 is a histone methyltransferase that specifically monomethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. It plays a central role in the transcriptional activation of genes such as collagenase or insulin. It is recruited by IPF1/PDX-1 to the insulin promoter, leading to activate transcription. It has also methyltransferase activity toward non-histone proteins such as p53/TP53, TAF10, and possibly TAF7 by recognizing and binding the [KR]-[STA]-K in substrate proteins.1) Subramanian, K., (2008) Mol.
