OverviewNCBI Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is a lysine-specific demethylase that specifically demethylates di- or tri-methylated lysine 27 of histone H3 (H3K27me2 or H3K27me3). H3K27 trimethylation is a repressive epigenetic mark controlling chromatin organization and gene silencing. This protein can also demethylate non-histone proteins such as retinoblastoma protein. Through its demethylation actvity this gene influences cellular differentiation and development, tumorigenesis, inflammatory diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases. This protein has two classical nuclear localization signals at its N-terminus. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis
Seroatlas reads KDM6B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against KDM6B could matter depends on whether native KDM6B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.
KDM6B is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.
Annotation status
The present source text does not explicitly label KDM6B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
