Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA binding activity; histone H3-tri/di/monomethyl-lysine-4 demethylase activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in histone H3-K4 demethylation; male gonad development; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be part of protein-DNA complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Biomarker of cryptorchidism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ankylosing spondylitis. Orthologous to human KDM5A (lysine demethylase 5A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
