| Function |
Component of the Set1/Ash2 histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex, a complex that specifically methylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, but not if the neighboring 'Lys-9' residue is already methylated. As part of the MLL1/MLL complex it is involved in methylation and dimethylation at 'Lys-4' of histone H3. May function as a transcriptional regulator. May play a role in hematopoiesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12670868, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19556245}.

| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000305|PubMed:17355966}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitously expressed. Predominantly expressed in adult heart and testis and fetal lung and liver, with barely detectable expression in adult lung, liver, kidney, prostate, and peripheral leukocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10393421}.
