The jumonji domain containing 1A protein (JMJD1A) was originally discovered as a testes specific gene, but has been found to be expressed in numerous tissues. At least two isoforms of JMJD1A are known to exist. This antibody will not cross-react with JMJD1B or JMJD1C.
Immunogen
JMJD1A antibody was raised against a 16 amino acid peptide from near the amino terminus of human JMJD1A.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Jumonji domain containing 1A protein (JMJD1A) is a histone demethylase and specifically demethylates mono- and dimethyl-H3K9. It has also been found to be a novel interaction partner with ER71, a transcription factor expressed in the testes of adult mice and during embryogenesis. JMJD1A is also a downstream gene of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), a protein that has been found to be important in the maintenance of mouse embryonic stem (mES) cells. Decreased JMJD1A expression is correlated with the differentiation of cultured mES cells following the removal of the cytokine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). These findings suggest that JMJD1A might be a signaling molecule having a role in maintaining pluripotency in embryonic stem cells.
