SMYD4
Chr 17SET and MYND domain containing 4
Also known as: ZMYND21
The SMYD4 protein is a lysine methyltransferase that regulates gene expression during cardiac development by methylating target proteins and modulating histone deacetylase activity. Mutations cause autosomal recessive developmental disorders primarily affecting the heart. This gene is highly constrained against loss-of-function variants, indicating that complete loss of protein function is likely incompatible with normal development.
