Summary: Enables histone H3K4 methyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of cell cycle; regulation of cell division; and regulation of embryonic development. Acts upstream of or within peptidyl-lysine methylation; positive regulation of gluconeogenesis; and skeletal system development. Located in nucleus. Part of ATAC complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebral cortex; colon; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and vault of skull. Orthologous to human WDR5 (WD repeat domain 5).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
