Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys- 9' of histone H3, thereby playing a role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-4', H3 'Lys-27', H3 'Lys-36' nor H4 'Lys-20'. Only able to demethylate trimethylated H3 'Lys-9', with a weaker activity than KDM4A, KDM4C and KDM4D. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16603238, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28262558}.
