 Context examples 

This allele, which encodes histone-lysine N-methyltransferase, H3 lysine-9 specific 5 protein, plays a role in the modulation of histone methylation.

(EHMT1 wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

(Bromodomain, NCI Thesaurus)

This protein is comprised of the N-terminal protein kinase domain of the cyclin-dependent kinase 6 protein fused to the C-terminus of the histone-lysine N-methyltransferase MLL protein, including the zinc-finger, transactivation and SET domains.

(CDK6/MLL Fusion Protein, NCI Thesaurus)
