Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase that acts as a regulator of cell proliferation, cell differentiation and inflammatory response (PubMed:31308046). Regulates the inflammatory response by mediating mono- and dimethylation of ‘Lys-4’ of histone H3 (H3K4me1 and H3K4me2, respectively), leading to activate the transcription of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL6 and TNF-alpha (By similarity). Also involved in the regulation of stem cell quiescence by catalyzing the trimethylation of ‘Lys-20’ of histone H4 (H4K20me3), thereby promoting heterochromatin formation (PubMed:31308046). Involved in proliferation, migration, paracrine and myogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) (By similarity).
