KDM6B

Lysine demethylase 6B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KDM6B gene. [1]

Regulation during differentation

Regulation during differentation

KDM6B was found to be expressional increased during cardiac and endothelial differentation of murine embryonic stem cells.[2]

Small molecule inhibition

Small molecule inhibition

A small molecule inhibition (GSK-J1) has been developed to inhibit jumonji domain of KDM6 histone demethylase family to modulate proinflammatory response in macrophage.[3]
