Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 218214 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables FAD-dependent H3K4me/H3K4me3 demethylase activity; flavin adenine dinucleotide binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in genomic imprinting. Acts upstream of or within epigenetic programing of female pronucleus. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human KDM1B (lysine demethylase 1B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice of both sexes are viable, grossly normal and male mice are fertile; however, heterozygous progeny of homozygous null mothers display severe placental defects, embryonic growth impairment, neural tube defects and pericardial edema, and do not survive past E10.5.
