General annotation (Comments)

Function	Methylates (mono- and asymmetric dimethylation) the guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues in several proteins involved in DNA packaging, transcription regulation, and mRNA stability. Recruited to promoters upon gene activation together with histone acetyltransferases from EP300/P300 and p160 families, methylates histone H3 at 'Arg-17' and activates transcription via chromatin remodeling By similarity.
Catalytic activity	S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone-arginine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone-N(omega)-methyl-arginine.
Subunit structure	Homodimer By similarity.
Subcellular location	Nucleus. Cytoplasm By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the protein arginine N-methyltransferase family.
