CARM1

CARM1 (coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1) is an enzyme encoded by the  gene found in human beings, as well as many other mammals. CARM1 is a secondary coactivator through its association with p160 family (SRC-1, GRIP1, AIB) of coactivators. It is responsible for moving cells toward the inner cell mass in developing blastocysts. This gene also plays an important role in androgen receptors and may play a role in prostate cancer progression.
