Kdm5b Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable several functions, including histone H3K4me/H3K4me2/H3K4me3 demethylase activity; transcription corepressor activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in cellular response to fibroblast growth factor stimulus; lens fiber cell differentiation; and response to fungicide. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in chromatin and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 65; breast cancer; and high grade glioma. Orthologous to human KDM5B (lysine demethylase 5B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Kdm5b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
