Primary Identifier | MGI:2442355 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 193796 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables histone H3K36 demethylase activity and histone H3K9 demethylase activity. Involved in brain development. Located in pericentric heterochromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; reproductive system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder; breast cancer; colorectal cancer; malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor; and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human KDM4B (lysine demethylase 4B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted allele lacking demethylase activity exhibit no gross abnormalities. Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in mammary gland epithelial cells exhibit delayed mammary gland development with reduced branching. [provided by MGI curators] |
