PRMT1 and cancer: Protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) can catalyze the protein arginine methylation by transferring the methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to the guanidyl nitrogen atom of protein arginine, which influences a variety of biological processes including epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and EMT-mediated mobility of cancer cells.
