Primary Identifier | MGI:2136980 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 214899 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including chromatin DNA binding activity; histone H3K4 demethylase activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression and facultative heterochromatin formation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of protein-DNA complex. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ankylosing spondylitis. Orthologous to human KDM5A (lysine demethylase 5A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced body size, abnormal involuntary movement and quantitative changes in the hematopoietic stem cell and myeloid progenitor compartments, consistent with enhanced survival and increased cycling. Neonatalsurvival is sensitive to genetic background. [provided by MGI curators] |
