PRMTs

PRMTs, or Protein Arginine Methyltransferases, are enzymes that modify proteins by adding methyl groups to arginine amino acids within them. This process, called methylation, can influence how proteins behave, interact, and function inside cells. PRMTs play essential roles in regulating gene expression, cell signaling, and other vital cellular processes. By modifying proteins, they help cells respond to changes and maintain normal functions. Dysregulation of PRMT activity has been linked to diseases such as cancer and neurological disorders, making them important targets for scientific research and potential therapies.
