Symbol: Rbr-2
Entrez gene ID: 177985
Ensembl gene ID: ZK593.4
Species: Worm (Taxid: 6239)

Functional description:
Histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys- 4' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. Does not demethylate histone H3 'Lys-9', H3 'Lys-27', H3 'Lys-36', H3 'Lys-79' or H4 'Lys-20'. Demethylates trimethylated and dimethylated but not monomethylated H3 'Lys-4'. Involved in larval development and vulva formation. [UniProt]
