CARM1 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human CARM1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 19p13.2 and is approximately 51 kb in length. This allele, which encodes histone-arginine methyltransferase CARM1 protein, plays a role in transcription regulation, protein methylation and chromatin remodeling. Aberrant expression of the gene is associated with both prostate adenocarcinomas and high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.

**Synonyms:** - Coactivator-Associated Arginine Methyltransferase 1 wt Allele - PRMT4
