75410 O08550 KMT2B_MOUSE Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2B (Lysine N-methyltransferase 2B) (EC 2.1.1.364) (Myeloid/lymphoid or mixed-lineage leukemia protein 4 homolog) (Trithorax homolog 2) (WW domain-binding protein 7) (WBP-7) DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE Females are infertile due to anovulation and follicle loss. Oocytes show reduced H3K4me3 but not H3K4me1, abnormal expression of pro-apoptotic genes and Iap elements (which may contribute to oocyte death and, ultimately, follicle loss) and fail to establish transcriptional repression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20808952}.
