JHDM2a is a zinc finger protein that contains a jumonji domain. It is a histone demethylase that specifically demethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3, thereby playing a central role in histone code. This protein preferentially demethylates mono and dimethylated H3 'Lys-9' residue, with a preference for dimethylated residue, while it has weak or no activity on trimethylated H3 'Lys-9'. Demethylation of Lys residue generates formaldehyde and succinate. It is involved in hormone-dependent transcriptional activation, by participating in recruitment to androgen-receptor target genes, resulting in H3 'Lys-9' demethylation and transcriptional activation.
