Related Product Information for anti-WHSC1 antibody

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. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Some transcript variants are nonsense-mediated mRNA (NMD) decay candidates, hence not represented as reference sequences.

Uniprot Description

WHSC1: a SET domain-containing protein lysine methyltransferase that is expressed normally in early development. Catalyzes the dimethylation of H3K36; H3K36me2 is associated with regions that are transcriptionally active. Maps in the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome critical region and is fused to IgH in about 15% of t(4;14) multiple myeloma cases. Patients with the t(4;14) chromosomal translocation comprise one of the worst prognostic subgroups of multiple myeloma. The t(4;14) translocation results in overexpression of WHSC1 and of FGFR3 due to the placement of the strong immunoglobulin H intronic Emu enhancer and 3-prime enhancer in the promoter regions of WHSC1 and FGFR3 genes, respectively. 100% of t(4;14) patients retain overexpression of WHSC1, while 30% have lost expression of FGFR3, suggesting that WHSC1 and not FGFR3 may the primary driver of the disease. Seven alternatively spliced isoforms of the human protein have been reported.
