Targeting histone methylation for cancer therapy: enzymes, inhibitors, biological activity and perspectives
Abstract Post-translational methylation of histone lysine or arginine residues plays important roles in gene regulation and other physiological processes. Aberrant histone methylation caused by a gene mutation, translocation, or overexpression can often lead to initiation of a disease such as cancer...
