Primary Identifier | MGI:2443388 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 338523 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables histone H3K27me2/H3K27me3 demethylase activity and histone H3K9 demethylase activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in melanoma. Orthologous to human KDM7A (lysine demethylase 7A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants exhibit abnormal hair follicle, tail, sebaceous gland, rib, and vertebrae morphology and decreased circulating iron levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
