Lysine-specific demethylase 6A
protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Lysine-specific demethylase 6A also known as Ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat, X chromosome (UTX), is a protein which in humans is encoded by the KDM6A gene. It belongs to the 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenase superfamily.
The Y-chromosome version of this gene is called UTY.
Function
UTX has been linked with demethylation of lysine residues on histone, in particular H3K27, resulting in a gene derepression, a potential means of regulating cellular metabolism.
“Lysine-specific demethylase 6A” enters the record as protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Lysine-specific, demethylase and protein-coding can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Lysine-specific demethylase 6A” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Lysine-specific, demethylase and protein-coding provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q18032310. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
