Lysine-specific demethylase 4A is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the KDM4A gene.[3][4][5]

Function

This gene is a member of the Jumonji domain 2 (JMJD2) family and encodes a protein with a JmjN domain, a JmjC domain, a JD2H domain, two TUDOR domains, and two PHD-type zinc fingers. This nuclear protein functions as a trimethylation-specific demethylase, converting specific trimethylated histone on histone H3 lysine 9 and 36 residues to the dimethylated form and lysine 9 dimethylated residues to monomethyl, and as a transcriptional repressor.[5]

Alterations in this gene have been found associated with chromosomal instability that leads to cancer.(PMID 23871696)
