NCIt definition : Lysine-specific demethylase 7A (941 aa, 107 kDa) is encoded by the human KDM7A gene.
This protein is involved in histone demethylation and brain development.;
NCIt note : Lysine-specific demethylase 7A demethylates dimethylated lysine-27 of histone H3 (H3K27me2)
and monomethylated lysine-20 of histone H4 residue (H4K20Me1). This enzyme binds to
trimethylated lysine-4 of histone H3 (H3K4me3) and can only demethylate dimethylated
lysine-9 of histone H2 (H3K9me2) when it is not bound to H3K4me3. (UniProt);
