About NSD1
This gene encodes a protein containing a SET domain, 2 LXXLL motifs, 3 nuclear translocation signals (NLSs), 4 plant homeodomain (PHD) finger regions, and a proline-rich region. The encoded protein enhances androgen receptor (AR) transactivation, and this enhancement can be increased further in the presence of other androgen receptor associated coregulators. This protein may act as a nucleus-localized, basic transcriptional factor and also as a bifunctional transcriptional regulator. Mutations of this gene have been associated with Sotos syndrome and Weaver syndrome. One version of childhood acute myeloid leukemia is the result of a cryptic translocation with the breakpoints occurring within nuclear receptor-binding Su-var, enhancer of zeste, and trithorax domain protein 1 on chromosome 5 and nucleoporin, 98-kd on chromosome 11. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2018]

About Alexa Fluor 680
Alexa Fluor™ 680 (AF680, Alexa 680) has an excitation peak at 679 nm and an emission peak at 702 nm, and is spectrally similar to Cy®5.5 (GE Healthcare), IR680® (Licor), iFluor® 680 (ATT Bioquest) and iFluor® 700 (ATT Bioquest). Alexa 680 is commonly used for flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and super-resolution microscopy.
