Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this intronless gene is a member of a large family of histone lysine demethylases, which use oxygen and 2-oxoglutarate to demethylate di- and trimethylated lys9 of histone H3. Derepression of genes by demethylases is sometimes involved in viral infection or carcinogenesis, so inhibitors of these enzymes are desired. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016].
- UniProt Summary: Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys- 9' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21914792}.
