NSD3 nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 3

Gene ID: 54904, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: KMT3F; KMT3G; WHISTLE; WHSC1L1; pp14328

Summary

This gene is related to the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate-1 gene and encodes a protein with PWWP (proline-tryptophan-tryptophan-proline) domains. This protein methylates histone H3 at lysine residues 4 and 27, which represses gene transcription. Two alternatively spliced variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]
