General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction aberrant SETDB1 activity is linked to disease onset, including nervous, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal system disorders, as well as numerous inherited genetic syndromes. SETDB1 is most significantly involved in tumorigenesis by repressing tumor suppressor genes after establishing the H3K9me3 mark. SETDB1 activity results in higher aggressiveness and worse cancer prognosis and has therefore been regarded as an oncogene Homo sapiens
additional information SETDB1 exists in three isoforms, with isoform 1 being considered as the canonical sequence, including all the necessary domains for full enzyme activity. Isoform 2 contains the same domains as isoform 1. Isoform 2 is produced by alternate splicing of an in-frame splice site which is present in the 3' coding region, resulting in C-terminal truncation in the post-SET domain, thus producing a shorter protein form. Isoform 3 lacks all the domains of the C-terminus that are required for enzyme activity Homo sapiens
physiological function SETDB1 has a central role in normal physiology and nervous system development, having been implicated in the regulation of cell cycle progression, inactivation of the X chromosome, immune cells function, expression of retroelements and formation of promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies. SETDB1 has been frequently deregulated in carcinogenesis, being implicated in the pathogenesis of gliomas, melanomas, as well as in lung, breast, gastrointestinal and ovarian tumors, where it mainly exerts an oncogenic role Homo sapiens
