Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residue (biochemistry), residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including Enzyme catalysis, catalysing metab ...
that in humans is encoded by the SETD5
gene
In biology, the word gene has two meanings. The Mendelian gene is a basic unit of heredity. The molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. There are two types of molecular genes: protei ...

It is a member of the histone lysine methyltransferase family.
Overexpression of SETD5 is associated positively with progression of breast cancer.
Mutations in SETD5 are associated with a rare developmental disorder termed autosomal dominant mental retardation-23 (MRD23, MIM#615761).

A., UK10K Consortium, Hurles, M., & Raymond, F. L. (2014). De novo loss-of-function mutations in SETD5, encoding a methyltransferase in a 3p25 microdeletion syndrome critical region, cause intellectual disability. American Journal of Human Genetics, 94, 618–624. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2014.03.006] MRD23 is mainly characterized by variable congenital defects and dysmorphic facies. Clinical features include developmental delay, intellectual disability, chewing abnormalities, hypospadias, and cryptorchidism in males in association with craniofacial dysmorphisms.
