It methylates SUPT5H. PRMT5 plays a role in the assembly of snRNP core particles and may play a role in cytokine-activated transduction pathways. It negatively regulates cyclin E1 promoter activity and cellular proliferation and May regulate the SUPT5H transcriptional elongation properties. It may be part of a pathway that is connected to a chloride current, possibly through cytoskeletal rearrangement. PRMT5 methylates histone H2A/H4 ′Arg-3′ during germ cell development and methylates histone H3 ′Arg-8′, which may repress transcription._x000D_ Sequence_x000D_ Synthetic peptide located within the following region: FDFLCMPVFHPRFKREFIQEPAKNRPGPQTRSDLLLSGRDWNTLIVGKLS
