General annotation (Comments)

Function	Polycomb group (PcG) protein By similarity. Catalytic subunit of the prc2/eed-ezh2 complex, which methylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3, leading to transcriptional repression of the affected target gene By similarity.
Catalytic activity	S-adenosyl-L-methionine + L-lysine-[histone] = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(6)-methyl-L-lysine-[histone].
Subunit structure	Component of the prc2/eed-ezh2 complex By similarity.
Subcellular location	Nucleus By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the histone-lysine methyltransferase family. EZ subfamily. Contains 1 SET domain.
