Term Name	histone methyltransferase activity (H3-K9 specific)
Term Accession	GO:0046974
Aspect	molecular_function
Synonyms (2)	histone lysine N-methyltransferase activity (H3-K9 specific), histone methylase activity (H3-K9 specific)
Definition	Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone H3 L-lysine (position 9) = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone H3 N6-methyl-L-lysine (position 9). This reaction is the addition of a methyl group onto lysine at position 9 of the histone H3 protein.
