This gene encodes a nuclear protein with a JmjC domain. JmjC domain-containing proteins are predicted to function as protein hydroxylases or histone demethylases. This protein was first identified as a putative phosphatidylserine receptor involved in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells; however, subsequent studies have indicated that it does not directly function in the clearance of apoptotic cells, and questioned whether it is a true phosphatidylserine receptor. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in mice demonstrated that JMJD6 was part of upregulated pathways for histone demethylase and protein demethylase activity in female E7 embryos, as identified through whole transcriptomic analysis of untreated C57BL/6J embryos [Boschen et al. DOI:10.1002/Bdr2.2292].
