Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for NSD2(NM_133334.2) Search again
Powered by BiozBy default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.
Summary
This gene encodes a protein that contains four domains present in other developmental proteins: a PWWP domain, an HMG box, a SET domain, and a PHD-type zinc finger. It is expressed ubiquitously in early development. Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) is a malformation syndrome associated with a hemizygous deletion of the distal short arm of chromosome 4. This gene maps to the 165 kb WHS critical region and has also been involved in the chromosomal translocation t(4;14)(p16.3;q32.3) in multiple myelomas.
Gene References into function
- data indicate that t(4;14)(p16;q32) and loss of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 occurred at a very early stage of multiple myeloma and suggest that activation of multiple myeloma SET domain protein may be transforming event of this translocation
- connection between the syndrome phenotype and cytogenetic abnormalities, through gradual shortening of the length of the critical region WHSCR (finally up to 165 kb), and sequencing it, at least 2 genes (WHSC1 and WHSC2) were identified.
- different transcripts detected, multiple myeloma SET domain containing protein (MMSET I), MMSET II, Exon 4a/MMSET III, and response element II binding protein (RE-IIBP), are produced by alternative splicing
- Overexpression of WHISTLE repressed transcription of the SV40 promoter. Our results suggest that WHISTLE is a novel SET domain containing a protein with specific H3K4 and H3K27 HMTase activity.
- Our results suggest that HMTase WHISTLE induces apoptosis in an HMTase activity-dependent manner and represses transcription of target genes through HDAC1 recruitment.
- that MMSET plays a significant role in t(4;14) MM and suggest that therapies targeting this gene could impact this particular subset of poor-prognosis patients.
- MM Patients showing the t(4;14) chromosomal translocation at FGFR3 and MMSET genes had a significant elevation of serum crosslaps, reported to be the marker most reliably correlated with the extent of bone resorption
- MMSET influences gene expression and potentially acts as a pathogenic agent in multiple myeloma
- RE-IIBP is upregulated in leukemia. SET domain Cys483 & Arg477 are needed for histone methyltransferase activity. Overexpression causes histone H3-K27 methylation, HDAC recruitment, & histone H3 hypoacetylation on the IL-5 promoter repressing expression.
- WHSC1 expression increases with ascending tumor proliferation activity.
- dysregulation of MMSET affects the expression of several genes involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression, cell adhesion and survival
- These data suggest that MMSET potentially acts as a pathogenic agent in many cancers.
