Also known as ZNF910
Summary
PRDM7 (PR/SET domain 7, HGNC:9351) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q24.3, encoding Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase PRDM7 (Q9NQW5). Histone methyltransferase that selectively methylates ‘Lys-4’ of dimethylated histone H3 (H3K4me2) to produce trimethylated ‘Lys-4’ histone H3 (H3K4me3).
This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that may have roles in transcription and other nuclear processes. The encoded protein contains a KRAB (Kruppel-associated box) domain -A box and a SET (Su(var)3-9, Enhancer-of-zeste, Trithorax) domain and may function as a histone methyltransferase.

Genetic regulation across tissues (GTEx eQTL / sQTL)
PRDM7 is an eGene in GTEx v10 — its expression is genetically regulated (eQTL) in 1 tissue and its splicing (sQTL) in 1 (q < 0.05). Strongest associations first; slope = normalized effect of the lead variant’s alternative allele.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 2)
- Evolutionary analysis suggests that human PRDM7 and PRDM9 genes, a pair of close paralogs corresponding to a single mouse gene Prdm9, were generated by a recent gene duplication event after the divergence of the ancestors of human and mouse. (PMID:18231586)
- These studies indicate that after a single serine to tyrosine mutation at residue 357 (S357Y), PRDM7 regains the substrate specificities and catalytic activities similar to its evolutionary predecessor, including the ability to efficiently methylate H3K36. (PMID:27129774)

Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase PRDM7 — Q9NQW5 (reviewed: Q9NQW5)
Alternative names: PR domain zinc finger protein 7, PR domain-containing protein 7, [histone H3]-lysine4 N-methyltransferase PRDM7
All UniProt accessions (3): A4Q9G9, Q9NQW5, H3BUJ3
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Histone methyltransferase that selectively methylates ‘Lys-4’ of dimethylated histone H3 (H3K4me2) to produce trimethylated ‘Lys-4’ histone H3 (H3K4me3). May play a role in epigenetic regulation of gene expression by defining an active chromatin state.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Chromosome.
Miscellaneous. May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay.
