Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables chromatin binding activity and p53 binding activity. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression and protein destabilization. Acts upstream of or within fibroblast proliferation; in utero embryonic development; and regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and trachea. Orthologous to human KDM8 (lysine demethylase 8).
