DNMT1
DNA Methyltransferase 1
Gene Number: 1786
Location: 19p13.2
Key Functions: DNA methylation maintenance, epigenetic regulation, gene silencing
DNMT1 encodes DNA methyltransferase 1, the primary enzyme responsible for maintaining DNA methylation patterns during cell division. It ensures that methylation marks are faithfully copied to daughter strands, preserving epigenetic information across generations of cells.
DNMT1 activity is essential for:
Regulating gene expression
Maintaining genomic stability
Supporting normal cellular identity
Disruptions in its function may contribute to abnormal gene expression, cancer development, and epigenetic disorders.
