Ash2 (absent, small, or homeotic)-like (Drosophila)
Gene Summary
ASH2L is a component of the Set1/Ash2 histone methyltransferase (HMT) complex, a complex that specifically methylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, but not if the neighboring 'Lys-9' residue is already methylated. It may function as a transcriptional regulator and play a role in hematopoiesis.
