NSD3 rabbit pAb

catalytic activity:S-adenosyl-L-methionine + histone L-lysine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + histone N(6)-methyl-L-lysine.,disease:A chromosomal aberration involving WHSC1L1 is found in childhood acute myeloid leukemia. Translocation t(8;11)(p11.2;p15) with NUP98.,disease:Defects in WHSC1L1 may be involved in non small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC). Amplified or overexpressed in NSCLC.,function:Histone methyltransferase. Preferentially methylates 'Lys-4' and 'Lys-27' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-4' methylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation, while 'Lys-27' is a mark for transcriptional repression.,sequence caution:Contaminating sequence. Potential poly-A sequence.,similarity:Belongs to the histone-lysine methyltransferase family. SET2 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 AWS domain.,similarity:Contains 1 post-SET domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SET domain.,similarity:Contains 2 PWWP domains.,similarity:Contains 4 PHD-type zinc fingers.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in brain, heart and skeletal muscle. Expressed at lower level in liver and lung.,
