Scientific Background :EZH1 (enhancer of zeste homolog 1) belongs to the polycomb group (PcG) protein and acts as the catalytic subunit of the PRC2/EED-EZH1 complex, which methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of target genes. EZH1 is ubiquitously expressed. Compared to PRC2-EZH2, PRC2-EZH1 exhibits low levels of histone methyltransferase (HKMT) activity. Required for embryonic stem cell derivation and self-renewal, suggesting that it is involved in safeguarding embryonic stem cell identity.
