Summary
ASH1L (ASH1 like histone lysine methyltransferase, HGNC:19088) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q22, encoding Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase ASH1L (Q9NR48). Histone methyltransferase specifically trimethylating ‘Lys-36’ of histone H3 forming H3K36me3. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This gene encodes a member of the trithorax group of transcriptional activators. The protein contains four AT hooks, a SET domain, a PHD-finger motif, and a bromodomain. It is localized to many small speckles in the nucleus, and also to cell-cell tight junctions.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 66 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
