Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PRMT2 gene.[5][6]

Functions[edit]

The enzyme methylates final nitrogen atom of arginine residue in some proteins. It transfers two methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine.

Interactions[edit]

PRMT2 has been shown to interact with Estrogen receptor alpha[7] and HNRPUL1.[8]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
