GlossaryDNA Methyltransferase 1

maintains DNA methylation patterns during cell division

DNA Methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in maintaining DNA methylation patterns during cell division. It adds methyl groups to the cytosine bases of DNA, which can regulate gene expression by turning genes on or off. This process is essential for normal development, genomic stability, and cellular differentiation.
