Gene ID: 23030, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MRD65; JMJD2B; TDRD14B

Summary

Enables histone H3-methyl-lysine-36 demethylase activity and histone H3-methyl-lysine-9 demethylase activity. Involved in histone H3-K36 demethylation and histone H3-K9 demethylation. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Implicated in autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability; breast cancer; colorectal cancer; malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor; and stomach cancer. Biomarker of several diseases, including alopecia areata; lung cancer; medulloblastoma; prostate cancer; and stomach cancer. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
