Kdm4d Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chromatin DNA binding activity; damaged DNA binding activity; and histone H3K9me2/H3K9me3 demethylase activity. Predicted to be involved in chromatin remodeling; inflammatory response; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to ionizing radiation; double-strand break repair via homologous recombination; and positive regulation of double-strand break repair via nonhomologous end joining. Predicted to be located in pericentric heterochromatin and site of double-strand break. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Orthologous to several human genes including KDM4D (lysine demethylase 4D). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Kdm4d often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
