Background
This gene is a member of the Jumonji domain 2 (JMJD2) family. The encoded protein is a trimethylation-specific demethylase, and converts specific trimethylated histone residues to the dimethylated form. This enzymatic action regulates gene expression and chromosome segregation. Chromosomal aberrations and changes in expression of this gene may be found in tumor cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015],
Function
cofactor:Binds 1 Fe(2+) ion per subunit.,domain:The 2 Tudor domains recognize and bind methylated histones. Double Tudor domain has an interdigitated structure and the unusual fold is required for its ability to bind methylated histone tails.,function:Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-9' and 'Lys-36' residues of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-4', H3 'Lys-27' nor H4 'Lys-20'. Demethylates trimethylated H3 'Lys-9' and H3 'Lys-36' residue, while it has no activity on mono- and dimethylated residues. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate.,similarity:Belongs to the JHDM3 histone demethylase family.,similarity:Contains 1 JmjC domain.,similarity:Contains 1 JmjN domain.,similarity:Contains 2 PHD-type zinc fingers.,similarity:Contains 2 Tudor domains.,tissue specificity:Overexpresse
