Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the EZH1 gene.[1][2]

Function

In mice, EZH1 and EZH2 cogovern histone H3K27 trimethylation and are essential for hair follicle homeostasis and wound repair.[3] EZH1 also complements EZH2 in maintaining stem cell identity and executing pluripotency.[4]
