Protein methyltransferase PRMT5 symmetrically dimethylates arginine residues in proteins, including histones, and has been associated with tumorigenesis. The identification of EPZ015666 as a potent chemical probe of PRMT5 could promote understanding of the role of PRMT5 in human disease both in cells and in vivo.
