General description

Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate 1 protein (WHSC1), Nuclear SET domain containing protein 2 (NSD2) is a histone lysine methyltransferase that is deregulated in a subgroup of multiple myelomas. NSD proteins have been described to serve as oncogenes; however, little is known about their targets in transcriptional repression or activation. NSD2 is overexpressed in multiple myelomas via translocation between the NSD2 locus on chromosome 4 and the immunoglobulin locus on chromosome 14. NSD2 is under the regulatory control of this immunoglobulin locus. Further research is required to elucidate its roles and mechanisms in cancer.

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human WHSC1/NSD2.
