Rabbit anti-Human KDM5C Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P41229

Target Species

Human

Target Name

KDM5C

Target Full Name

Lysine-specific demethylase 5C

Target Function

Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-4' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-9', H3 'Lys-27', H3 'Lys-36', H3 'Lys-79' or H4 'Lys-20'. Demethylates trimethylated and dimethylated but not monomethylated H3 'Lys-4'. Participates in transcriptional repression of neuronal genes by recruiting histone deacetylases and REST at neuron-restrictive silencer elements. Represses the CLOCK-ARNTL/BMAL1 heterodimer-mediated transcriptional activation of the core clock component PER2.

Target Involvement

Mental retardation, X-linked, syndromic, Claes-Jensen type (MRXSCJ)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

JARID1 histone demethylase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in all tissues examined. Highest levels found in brain and skeletal muscle.

Target Background

This gene is a member of the SMCY homolog family and encodes a protein with one ARID domain, one JmjC domain, one JmjN domain and two PHD-type zinc fingers. The DNA-binding motifs suggest this protein is involved in the regulation of transcription and chromatin remodeling. Mutations in this gene have been associated with X-linked cognitive disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
