The N-terminal domain has no notable function in regard to the activity of KMT; however, it has been related to stability of the enzyme and most likely prevents its degradation within the cell. The N-terminal domain is highly conserved across species, which supports of the claim of necessity for stability. A Clustal alignment of a portion of the region shows a variety of high level species with conservation.
The N-terminal domain has no notable function in regard to the activity of KMT; in addition to this, no recent studies have been conducted to discover what the exact function of this region is. As this is a highly conserved region across species, it may be hypothesized this domain plays an integral part in either function or stability.
