DNMT3A
DNA Methyltransferase 3 Alpha
Gene Number:
1788Location: 2p23.3
Key Functions: De novo DNA methylation, epigenetic regulation, cellular differentiation, hematopoiesis
DNMT3A encodes DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3 alpha, one of the primary enzymes responsible for de novo DNA methylation—the process by which new methylation marks are added to previously unmethylated cytosine residues in CpG dinucleotides. This function is crucial during early development and cell differentiation, where DNMT3A helps establish the foundational epigenetic landscape that defines cellular identity and gene expression programs.
