gene: lin-59 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable histone H3K36 methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including ectodermal cell fate specification; egg-laying behavior; and nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of chromatin. Expressed in hypodermis; intestine; and muscle cell. Used to study leukemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 52. Is an ortholog of human ASH1L (ASH1 like histone lysine methyltransferase).
