AZFa candidate gene UTY and its X homologue UTX are expressed in human germ cells
11 May 2021
Abstract excerpt
The Ubiquitous Transcribed Y ( UTY a.k.a. KDM6C ) AZFa candidate gene on the human Y chromosome and its paralog on the X chromosome, UTX (a.k.a. KDM6A ), encode a histone lysine demethylase removing chromatin H3K27 methylation marks at genes transcriptional start sites for activation. Both proteins harbour the conserved Jumonji C (JmjC) domain, functional in chromatin metabolism, and an extended N-terminal...
