• Entrez Summary: N/A
• UniProt Summary: Histone demethylase required for G2/M phase cell cycle progression (PubMed:20457893). Specifically demethylates dimethylated 'Lys-36' (H3K36me2) of histone H3, an epigenetic repressive mark, thereby acting as a transcription activator (PubMed:20457893). Regulates expression of CCNA1 (cyclin-A1), leading to regulate cancer cell proliferation (PubMed:20457893). In a complex with coregulator RCCD1, is also able to demethylate trimethylated 'Lys-36' (H3K36me3) of histone H3 (PubMed:24981860). Plays a role in transcriptional repression of satellite repeats, possibly by regulating H3K36 methylation levels in centromeric regions together with RCCD1 (PubMed:24981860). Possibly together with RCCD1, involved in proper mitotic spindle organization and chromosome segregation (PubMed:24981860). Plays a role in regulating alpha-tubulin acetylation and cytoskeletal microtubule stability (PubMed:28455245). Might function as a protein hydroxylase (PubMed:22851697, PubMed:24100311). Under stress conditions that cause a DNA damage response, acts as a histone protease by cleaving the N-terminal tail of histone H3 at the carboxyl side of monomethyl-lysine (Kme1) residues, preferably at monomethylated 'Lys-9' (H3K9me1) (PubMed:28982940). The histone variant H3F3A is the major target for cleavage (PubMed:28982940). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20457893, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24981860, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28455245, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28982940, ECO:0000303|PubMed:22851697, ECO:0000303|PubMed:24100311}.
