Primary Identifier | MGI:1919202 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 71952 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables histone H3K36 demethylase activity; histone H3K4me/H3K4me2/H3K4me3 demethylase activity; and iron ion binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and protein demethylation. Located in nucleolus. Is expressed in skeleton and tibia cartilage condensation. Orthologous to human RIOX1 (ribosomal oxygenase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele activated in mesenchyme exhibit increased body length and weight, increased ossification with increased bone mass, bone mineral density, and volume, increased osteoblasts; and decrease osteoclasts.
