Round spermatid basic protein 1 (RSBN1)

Target
RSBN1
Molecular classification
Enzyme, Histone demethylase, Chromatin modulator
01

Overview

Round spermatid basic protein 1 (RSBN1) is a histone demethylase, also known as KDM9, that primarily removes methyl groups from dimethylated and trimethylated lysine 20 on histone H4 (H4K20me2/3), thereby modulating chromatin structure and contributing to epigenetic regulation during sperm cell development[1][2][4]. RSBN1 is expressed predominantly in round and elongated spermatids but is also found in brain and ovary tissue[1]. The demethylation function of RSBN1 is critical for chromosome architecture and genome stability in germ cells, making it important for proper meiotic progression, though it is not considered a direct therapeutic target nor associated with specific diseases[1]. Alternative names for RSBN1 include KDM9, FLJ11220, and ROSBIN[5][6].
