JMJD1C

Meaning

JMJD1C, which stands for Jumonji Domain-Containing Protein 1C, is a specific type of histone demethylase enzyme that plays a vital role in epigenetic regulation, modulating gene expression by precisely removing methyl groups from specific histone proteins. This enzyme is increasingly implicated in the intricacies of hormonal health due to its direct involvement in regulating the transcriptional activity of key nuclear hormone receptors, including those for androgens and estrogens. Its precise function significantly impacts cellular differentiation, metabolic homeostasis, and potentially intrinsic longevity pathways.
