Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables beta-catenin binding activity; histone H3K27me2/H3K27me3 demethylase activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cardiac muscle cell differentiation; mesodermal cell differentiation; and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within cell fate commitment; cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch ectoderm; brain; liver; olfactory epithelium; and palatal shelf. Orthologous to human KDM6B (lysine demethylase 6B).
