Kdm1a Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; histone H3 demethylase activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell population proliferation; regulation of myeloid cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within DNA repair-dependent chromatin remodeling; negative regulation of neurogenesis; and nervous system development. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including articular cartilage; brain; reproductive system; retina; and urinary system. Orthologous to human KDM1A (lysine demethylase 1A).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Kdm1a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
