PRMT (protein arginine methyltransferase)

PRMTs, or protein arginine methyltransferases, are enzymes that modify other proteins by adding methyl groups to arginine amino acids. This process, called methylation, influences how proteins interact, function, and regulate gene activity within cells. PRMTs play a crucial role in various biological processes, including gene expression, DNA repair, and cell signaling. Their activity helps maintain normal cellular functions, and dysregulation of PRMTs has been linked to diseases like cancer and neurological disorders. Overall, PRMTs are essential for fine-tuning protein functions and ensuring proper cellular operation.
