Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a lysine-specific histone demethylase that belongs to the jumonji/ARID domain-containing family of histone demethylases. The encoded protein is capable of demethylating tri-, di- and monomethylated lysine 4 of histone H3. This protein plays a role in the transcriptional repression or certain tumor suppressor genes and is upregulated in certain cancer cells. This protein may also play a role in genome stability and DNA repair. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2016].
  • UniProt Summary: Histone demethylase that demethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code (PubMed:24952722, PubMed:27214403, PubMed:28262558). Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-9' or H3 'Lys-27'. Demethylates trimethylated, dimethylated and monomethylated H3 'Lys-4'. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for FOXG1B and PAX9. Favors the proliferation of breast cancer cells by repressing tumor suppressor genes such as BRCA1 and HOXA5 (PubMed:24952722). In contrast, may act as a tumor suppressor for melanoma. Represses the CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer-mediated transcriptional activation of the core clock component PER2 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q80Y84, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12657635, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16645588, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17320161, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17363312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24952722, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26645689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26741168, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27214403, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28262558}.
