KDM5C or lysine (K)-specific demethylase 5C is a member of the SMCY homolog family that encodes a protein with one ARID domain, one JmjC domain, one JmjN domain and two PHD-type zinc fingers. KDM5C is mainly expressed in brain and skeletal muscle. KDM5C is involved in the regulation of transcription and chromatin remodelling that cause X-linked mental retardation. KDM5C is also essential for spermatogenesis and expression of male-specific minor histocompatibility antigens.

A new mouse Y chromosome gene, Smcy, has been isolated from the region encoding Spy, a spermatogenesis gene and Hya and Sdma, the genes that, respectively, control the expression of the male specific minor histocompatibility antigen H-Y, as measured by
American journal of human genetics, 76(2), 227-236 (2004-12-09)
In families with nonsyndromic X-linked mental retardation (NS-XLMR), >30% of mutations seem to cluster on proximal Xp and in the pericentric region. In a systematic screen of brain-expressed genes from this region in 210 families with XLMR, we identified seven
