Kdm4a - lysine (K)-specific demethylase 4A Gene

Also Known as Jmjd2; JHDM3A; Jmjd2a; mKIAA0677; D4Ertd222e

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 230674

Summary

Enables Histone Demethylase activity. Acts upstream of or within cardiac muscle hypertrophy in response to stress and negative regulation of histone H3-K9 trimethylation. Located in pericentric heterochromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; early conceptus; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human KDM4A (lysine demethylase 4A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
