NCBI Gene Info:Enables histone H3-tri/di/monomethyl-lysine-4 demethylase activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan; histone H3-K4 demethylation; and regulation of vulval development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed widely. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ankylosing spondylitis; autosomal recessive non-syndromic intellectual disability; breast cancer; high grade glioma; and syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Claes-Jensen type. Orthologous to several human genes including KDM5A (lysine demethylase 5A); KDM5B (lysine demethylase 5B); and KDM5C (lysine demethylase 5C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
