Implementation Method 1

PRMT5, the abbreviation of the English name Protein arginine N-methyltransferase 5, is one of the protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs), and it is a new anti-tumor target related to epigenetic modifications. It has several aliases, namely Hs17, Jbp1, Skb1, Capsuleen or Dart5. PRMT5 is the main enzyme responsible for monomethylation and symmetric dimethylation of arginine.
