Enzyme, Histone modification, Lysine demethylase
01

Overview

Lysine-specific demethylase 4A (JMJD2A) is a histone lysine demethylase that removes methyl groups from di- and trimethylated lysines on histone H3, primarily H3K9me2/3 and H3K36me2/3. It regulates chromatin structure and gene expression, acting as both a transcriptional repressor and a coactivator. JMJD2A is involved in various biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue development, and it plays a role in diseases such as cancer and cardiac hypertrophy. It is considered a promising target for small-molecule inhibitors aimed at epigenetic therapy.
