Gene Information

human ... UTX(7403)

General description

Lysine-specific demethylase 6A (KDM6A) is a tumor suppressor gene mapped to human chromosome Xp11.3. The gene codes for histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) demethylase, which is a member of the switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) family.

Immunogen

Ubiquitously transcribed X chromosome tetratricopeptide repeat protein (Ubiquitously transcribed TPR protein on the X chromosome)

Application

ANTI-KDM6A antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting and immunoprecipitation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lysine-specific demethylase 6A (KDM6A) counteracts zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) function and induces tumor suppression by stimulating gene transcription of E-cadherin, cell cycle regulators and tumor-suppressing subchromosomal transferable fragments. It also eliminates trimethylation marks from histone 3 lysine 27 (H3K27) and supports histone demethylase activity through its catalytic JmjC domain. Mutation in the gene leads to the development of a rare congenital anomaly syndrome, Kabuki syndrome (KS).

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The recent discovery of a large number of histone demethylases suggests a central role for these enzymes in regulating histone methylation dynamics. Histone H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) has been linked to polycomb-group-protein-mediated suppression of Hox genes and animal body patterning, X-chromosome

Molecular and cellular biology, 36(16), 2108-2120 (2016-05-25)
Establishment of the mammary luminal cell lineage is controlled primarily by hormones and through specific transcription factors (TFs). Previous studies have linked histone methyltransferases to the differentiation of mammary epithelium, thus opening the possibility of biological significance of counteracting demethylases.
