Summary | This gene encodes a nuclear protein with a JmjC domain. JmjC domain-containing proteins are predicted to function as protein hydroxylases or histone demethylases. This protein functions in differentiation of multiple tissues during development, and in anti-inflammatory cytokine signaling. It was first identified as a putative phosphatidylserine receptor involved in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells; however, subsequent studies have indicated that this protein does not directly function in the clearance of apoptotic cells, and questioned whether it is a true phosphatidylserine receptor.
