Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase NSD3 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the WHSC1L1gene.[5][6]
This gene is related to the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate-1 gene and encodes a protein with PWWP (proline-tryptophan-tryptophan-proline) domains. The function of the protein has not been determined. Two alternatively spliced variants have been described.[6]
