該基因編碼Jumonji，富含AT的相互作用域1（JARID1）組蛋白脫甲基酶蛋白家族的成員。 編碼的蛋白質通過組蛋白編碼使組蛋白H3的賴氨酸4脫甲基，從而在基因調控中發揮作用。 編碼的蛋白質與許多其他蛋白質（包括成視網膜細胞瘤蛋白質）相互作用，并與Hox基因和細胞因子的轉錄調控有關。 該基因可能在腫瘤進展中起作用。 [由RefSeq提供，2013年8月]
This gene encodes a member of the Jumonji, AT-rich interactive domain 1 (JARID1) histone demethylase protein family. The encoded protein plays a role in gene regulation through the histone code by specifically demethylating lysine 4 of histone H3. The encoded protein interacts with many other proteins, including retinoblastoma protein, and is implicated in the transcriptional regulation of Hox genes and cytokines. This gene may play a role in tumor progression. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
