Nsd3 - nuclear receptor binding SET domain protein 3 Gene

Also Known as WHISTLE; Whsc1l1; 6720429E03; A530023P05

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 234135

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the SET domain family of histone lysine N-methyltransferase proteins. This protein methylates histone H3 at lysine residues 4 and 27, which represses gene transcription. It acts in opposition to the Histone Demethylase Jmjd1c. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]
