Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Dioxygenase that mediates demethylation of actin monomethylated at 'Lys-84' (K84me1), thereby acting as a regulator of actomyosin-processes. Demethylation of actin K84me1 is required for maintaining actomyosin dynamics supporting normal cleavage furrow ingression during cytokinesis and cell migration. May be involved in transcription regulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21166655, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23673617}.
