set-3 encodes, by alternative splicing, two alternative isoforms of a SET domain-containing protein; SET-3 is orthologous to human SMYD4; neither set-3(n4948) nor set-3(RNAi) have any obvious phenotypes.
Predicted to enable methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in methylation. Expressed in AB; Psub1; hypodermis; and intestine. Is an ortholog of human SMYD4 (SET and MYND domain containing 4).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
