01

Overview

Lysine-specific demethylase 6B (JMJD3/KDM6B) is a histone demethylase that specifically removes methyl groups from trimethylated lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3), altering chromatin structure and regulating gene expression. It plays roles in development, inflammation, and cancer, with context-dependent oncogenic or tumor-suppressive functions. Inhibitors like GSK-J1, GSK-J4, and JIB04 are used experimentally to study its epigenetic regulation.
