DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase 3 beta, also known as DNMT3B, is a protein associated with immunodeficiency, centromere instability and facial anomalies syndrome.

CpG methylation is an epigenetic modification that is important for embryonic development, imprinting, and X-chromosome inactivation. In Biology, the term epigenetics refers to changes in Gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence Embryogenesis is the process by which the Embryo is formed and develops Studies in mice have demonstrated that DNA methylation is required for mammalian development. This gene encodes a DNA methyltransferase which is thought to function in de novo methylation, rather than maintenance methylation. In Biochemistry, the DNA methyltransferase (DNA MTase family of Enzymes catalyze the transfer of a Methyl group to DNA. The protein localizes primarily to the nucleus and its expression is developmentally regulated. Mutations in this gene cause the immunodeficiency-centromeric instability-facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome. Six alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. The full length sequences of variants 4 and 5 have not been determined. [1]
