AmiGO 2: Term Details for "histone H3K9 dimethyltransferase activity" (GO:0140942)

Accession: GO:0140942
Name: histone H3K9 dimethyltransferase activity
Ontology: molecular_function
Synonyms: histone H3K9 dimethylase activity, histone H3K9 mono/dimethylase activity, histone lysine N-dimethyltransferase activity (H3-K9 specific), histone H3-K9 dimethylation, histone H3K9 dimethylation
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: L-lysyl9-[histone H3] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine = 2 H+ + N6,N6-dimethyl-L-lysyl9-[histone H3] + 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. This reaction is the successive addition of two methyl groups to the unmethylated lysine residue at position 9 of histone H3, producing histone H3K9me2. Source: RHEA:64444
