RIZ1 Protein, an S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent histone methyltransferase, specifically methylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3. Additionally, it acts as a DNA-binding transcription factor, showing affinity for the MTE within the HMOX1 gene. Implicated as a potential activator, RIZ1 suggests a regulatory role in HMOX1 gene expression beyond histone modification. RIZ1 Protein, Human (His) is the recombinant human-derived RIZ1 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His labeled tag.
