RAD23B (Lysine-specific demethylase RAD23B) is an enzyme. The public catalogues list it as a drug target, a biomarker and a DNA repair gene, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Sarcomas. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Multifunctional protein that participates in histone H4K20 demethylation, DNA repair, ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation and transcriptional regulation. Specifically demethylates mono-, di- and trimethylated 'Lys-20' of histone H4 (H4K20me1, H4K20me2, H4K20me3, respectively) into unmethylated forms. Activates the transcription of coding genes by demethylating H4K20me1 and the transcription of repetitive elements by demethylating H4K20me3. Multiubiquitin chain receptor involved in modulation of proteasomal degradation. Binds to polyubiquitin chains. Proposed to be capable to bind simultaneously to the 26S proteasome and to polyubiquitinated substrates and to deliver ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome. Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm (UniProt). Locus 9q31.2 (HGNC).
