01

Overview

Type I protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are a subfamily of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of methyl groups from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to arginine residues in proteins, resulting in monomethylarginine and asymmetric dimethylarginine. They play crucial roles in epigenetic regulation, transcription, RNA processing, DNA repair, and cell signaling. Dysregulation of type I PRMTs has been linked to cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders, and viral infections, making them potential therapeutic targets.
