Human Gene Set: GOMF_HISTONE_H3K9ME2_3_READER_ACTIVITY

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOMF_HISTONE_H3K9ME2_3_READER_ACTIVITY

Standard name GOMF_HISTONE_H3K9ME2_3_READER_ACTIVITY
Systematic name M49773
Brief description A histone reader that recognizes a histone H3 trimethylated at lysine 9. In some organisms, there is only H3K9me2, not H3K9me3, but this modification is recognized by homologous readers. [PMID:30110338]
