Term Name: histone H3K36 methyltransferase activity
Synonyms: histone H3K36 methylase activity, histone lysine N-methyltransferase activity (H3-K36 specific), histone methylase activity (H3-K36 specific), histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K36 specific), histone-H3K36 methyltransferase activity
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone H3 L-lysine (position 36) = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone H3 N6-methyl-L-lysine (position 36). This reaction is the addition of a methyl group to the lysine residue at position 36 of the histone H3 protein.
