Abstract: Lysine methyltransferase 2(SMYD2)is a kind of special lysine methyltransferase containing SET(Suppressor of variegation,Enhancer of zeste,Trithorax)domain and MYND(Myeloid-nervy-deaf1)domain.Through post-translational modifications of histones and other proteins,SMYD2 plays a key role in epigenetics,body development,and carcinogenesis.In recent years,the role of SMYD2 in malignant tumors has received increasing attention.A number of studies have shown that SMYD2 plays an important role in the occurrence,development and metastasis of ovarian cancer,breast cancer,colon cancer,renal cell carcinoma and other malignant tumors.This article describes the research progress of SMYD2 in malignant tumors in recent years.

Key words: Lysine methyltransferase 2, Tumor, High expression, Methylation
