NSD1 polyclonal antibody

The nuclear receptor-binding SET domain-containing protein 1 (NSD1) belongs to a family of proteins which have all been implicated in human malignancy. The protein family includes NSD2 and NSD3, both of which show 70-75% sequence identity with NSD1 but contribute substantially less to overgrowth phenotypes. Defects and microdeletions of the NSD1 gene are involved in Sotos syndrome, childhood acute myeloid leukemia (AML), Weaver syndrome and Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome (BWS). The protein functions as a transcriptional intermediary factor capable of influencing transcription, either negatively or positively, depending on the cellular context. NSD1 is a nuclear protein expressed in brain, muscle, spleen, thymus, kidney and, to a lesser extent, lung.
