PRMT1

SYNONYMS
ANM1, HCP1, HRMT1L2, IR1B4, INF receptor 1-bound protein 4, EC 2.1.1, Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 1, PRMT1, HMT2.

INTRODUCTION
PRMT1 Methylates (mono & asymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues present in a glycine and arginine-rich domain (may methylate HNRNPA1 and histones). Methylates SUPT5H.
The PRMT1 protein functions as a histone methyltransferase specific for H4.
PRMT1 is an essential factor in oncogenesis and is a potential novel therapeutic target in cancer.
PRMT1-mediated methylation serves as a positive modulator of IR/IRS-1/PI3K pathway and glucose uptake in skeletal muscle cells.
CAF1 is a new regulator of PRMT1-dependent arginine methylation.
PRMT1 arginine-methylates MRE11 therefore it regulates the activity of MRE11-RAD50-NBS1 complex during the intra-S-phase DNA damage checkpoint response.
PRMT1 plays a post-translationally part in regulating the transcriptional activity.
PRMT1 is found predominantly in the cytoplasma though a fraction of PRMT1 is located in the nucleus.

DESCRIPTION
PRMT1 Human Recombinant (a.a. 1-353) fused with His-MBP tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 750 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 84 kDa.
The PRMT1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
