Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Histone demethylase UTY is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the UTY gene.[3][4][5]

Quick Facts Available structures, PDB ...

This gene encodes a protein containing tetratricopeptide repeats which are thought to be involved in protein–protein interactions. This protein is a minor histocompatibility antigen which may induce graft rejection of male stem cell grafts. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[5]

Interactions

UTY has been shown to interact with TLE1[6] and WDR90.[7]
