SMYD3 SET and MYND domain containing 3

ENSG00000185420 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Histone methyltransferase. Specifically methylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, inducing di- and tri-methylation, but not monomethylation (PubMed:15235609, PubMed:22419068). Also methylates 'Lys-5' of histone H4 (PubMed:22419068). Plays an important role in transcriptional activation as a member of an RNA polymerase complex (PubMed:15235609). Binds DNA containing 5'-CCCTCC-3' or 5'-GAGGGG-3' sequences (PubMed:15235609). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15235609, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22419068}.

In 1 of 15 cancers, the evidence for SMYD3 comes mainly from inherited variants

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.6243399977684021 (upper bound 0.8244900107383728). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

No named investigators on registry trials of SMYD3's approved or late-stage drugs in the last three years.

No terminated, withdrawn or suspended trials of SMYD3's drugs are registered

All 0 drugs and clinical candidates as a table

Each drug, stage and indication links to its Open Targets record, where the trials and approvals behind it are listed. Salt forms (for example a mesylate) are listed as Open Targets records them, as separate entries.
