Summary: Enables DNA binding activity; histone H3K27me2/H3K27me3 demethylase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in chromatin remodeling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; embryonic morphogenesis; and respiratory system process. Located in nucleus. Part of histone methyltransferase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; gonad; liver; and spleen. Used to study chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kabuki syndrome; bladder urothelial carcinoma; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung carcinoma (multiple); and triple-receptor negative breast cancer. Orthologous to human KDM6A (lysine demethylase 6A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
