UTX - a JmjC domain containing histone demethylase

  • UTX has two alternatively spliced isoforms and escapes X inactivation in mice and humans [5]
  • UTX has been found in a Set1 like complex, with PTIP and other proteins. This complex mediates histone H3K4 methylation [6].
  • UTX shows high similarity to UTY (>80%) which is in the non-recombining region of the Y chromosome (NRY)
