Summary
Enables histone H3K9 demethylase activity. Acts upstream of or within cardiac muscle hypertrophy in response to stress. 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, Nov 2024]
Expression

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.
