SMYD2 (SET (su(Var)3-9, Enhancer-of-zeste and Trithorax) And MYND (myeloid, Nervy and DEAF-1) Domain Containing protein 2), also known as KMT3C, is a member of the histone methyltransferase family of proteins, with lysine-specific activity. In addition to its role in histone H3K4 methylation, SMYD2 can also act on non-histone targets, such as p53 and PARP1 (poly-ADP ribose polymerase 1). SMYD2 is found at high levels in many cancer types and has been classified as an oncogene. It regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis, making it a promising cancer therapy target. The use of inhibitors or small interfering RNA can lead to decreased cell cancer viability as SMYD2 is critical for inhibition of TNF (tumor necrosis factor)-induced apoptosis. Targeting SMYD2 alone, or in combination with other therapies, may prove crucial in oncology.
