Human NSD2, also known as RE-IIBP, MMSET, and WHSC1 (GenBank Accession No. NM_133330), a.a. 941-1240 (catalytic domain) with N-terminal GST-tag, MW = 62 kDa, expressed in E. coli.
Host cell line: E. coli
Specific activity: 0.036 pmol/min/ug
Background
NSD2 is a histone methyltransferase that preferentially methylates Lys27 of histone H3. Isoform RE-IIBP may act as a transcription regulator that binds DNA and suppresses IL5 transcription through HDAC recruitment. Mutations in the gene for NSD2 are linked to Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS), a malformation syndrome associated with a hemizygous deletion of the distal short arm of chromosome 4, and is also associated with chromosomal translocations in multiple myelomas.
Immunogen Region

Human
Application
Useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling
Notes
Assay was performed using the BPS NSD2 Chemiluminescent Assay Kit (Cat. #53009) according to recommended protocol, with 5 uM S-adenosylmethionine on biotinylated H3 peptide-coated plates. Enzyme reaction was performed for 2 hours at room temperature.
