KDM2A / Unconjugated /

Product Details

Description	Rabbit polyclonal to KDM2A.Lysine-specific demethylase 2A (KDM2A) is a histone demethylase belonging to the JHDM1 histonedemethylase family. KDM2A specifically demethylates 'Lys-36' of histone H3, thereby playing acentral role in histone code. It preferentially demethylates dimethylated H3 'Lys-36' residue while ithas weak or no activity for mono-and tri-methylated H3 'Lys-36'. KDM2A is required to maintain theheterochromatic state. It associates with centromeres and represses transcription of small non-codingRNAs encoded by the clusters of satellite repeats at the centromere. KDM2A is required to sustaincentromeric integrity and genomic stability, particularly during mitosis.

About KDM2A
This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbls class and, in addition to an F-box, contains at least six highly degenerated leucine-rich repeats. This family member plays a role in epigenetic silencing. It nucleates at CpG islands and specifically demethylates both mono- and di-methylated lysine-36 of histone H3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
