Su(z)12

Drosophila melanogaster

Su(z)12 (Su(z)12) is a member of the Polycomb group of genes with products involved in transcriptional silencing. Su(z)12 encodes a subunit of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), where it is required for the histone methyltransferase activity that yields trimethylation of histone H3 on lysine 27 (H3-K27me3).
