DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 3B

The DNMT3B gene encodes a methyltransferase that is responsible for methylation of CpG islet in genomic DNA. So this emzyme plays an important role in gene silicing during development and epigenetic modification. Mutations cause autosomal recessive Immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies syndrome.
