General description

Histone demethylase UTX is also known as Lysine-specific demethylase 6A, Ubiquitously-transcribed TPR protein on the X chromosome, and Ubiquitously-transcribed X chromosome tetratricopeptide repeat protein. UTX is a histone demethylase that specifically demethylates trimethylated and dimethylated but not monomethylated histone H3 ′Lys-27′. UTX is involved in regulation of posterior development, and defects can cause Kabuki syndrome type 2 (KABUK2)

Specificity

Other homologies: Canine (99% sequence homology) and Bovine (96% sequence homology).

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human UTX.

Despite showing promise against PIK3CA-mutant breast cancers in preclinical studies, PI3K/AKT pathway inhibitors demonstrate limited clinical efficacy as monotherapy. Here, we found that histone H3K27me3 demethylase KDM6B-targeted IGFBP5 expression provides a protective mechanism for PI3K/AKT inhibitor-induced apoptosis in breast cancer
