COMPASS complex

Complex Proteins Associated with Set1, also known as COMPASS, is a conserved protein complex playing a major role as a H3K4me3 methylase in eukaryotes.[1] Since it was first identified in 2001,[2] other members of the COMPASS family of methylases with different functions have been discovered, in particular in humans.[1]
