Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including histone H3 demethylase activity; ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including apoptotic chromosome condensation; negative regulation of astrocyte differentiation; and positive regulation of neuron differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nuclear lumen; and pericentric heterochromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human KDM4A (lysine demethylase 4A).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
