Description
Recombinant human KDM2A (1-748) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag.
Scientific Background: KDM2A or lysine (K)-specific demethylase 2A is a member of the F-box protein family that are components of the modular E3 ubiquitin protein ligases called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination (1). KDM2A belongs to the Fbls class and, in addition to the presence of an F-box, contains at least six highly degenerated leucine-rich repeats which play a role in epigenetic silencing. The demethylase activity of the JmjC domain-containing proteins is conserved from yeast to human (2)
