Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 108829 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable chromatin DNA binding activity; histone H3K9 demethylase activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Acts upstream of or within epithelial cell morphogenesis; male germ-line stem cell population maintenance; and seminiferous tubule development. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be part of histone deacetylase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; inner ear; and limb. Orthologous to human JMJD1C (jumonji domain containing 1C). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit an age-dependent male infertility phenotype, characterized by early loss of undifferentiated spermatogonia, and a progressive reduction in testis size/weight and male germ cells, partly due to increased male germ cell apoptosis.
