KDM2 / JHD1 is a JmjC domain family histone demethylase specific for H3-K36, similar to proteins found in human, mouse, drosophila, X. laevis, C. elegans, and S. pombe.
Function:
Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-36' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate H3 'Lys-4' nor 'Lys-79'. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16362057}.
Subcellular Location:
Nuclear.
Similarity:
Belongs to the JHDM1 histone demethylase family.
