ALKBH4 tissues
ALKBH4 [ENSP00000292566]
Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homolog 4; Dioxygenase that mediates demethylation of actin monomethylated at 'Lys-84' (K84me1), thereby acting as a regulator of actomyosin-processes . Demethylation of actin K84me1 is required for maintaining actomyosin dynamics supporting normal cleavage furrow ingression during cytokinesis and cell migration . In addition to proteins, also demethylates DNA: specifically demethylates DNA methylated on the 6th position of adenine (N(6)-methyladenosine) DNA, thereby regulating Polycomb silencing (By similarity).
Synonyms: ALKBH4, ALKBH4p, hALKBH4, Q9NXW9, Q9NXW9p ...
