Lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A)

Histone demethylase that demethylates both'Lys-4' (H3K4me) and'Lys-9' (H3K9me) of histone H3, thereby acting as a coactivator or a corepressor, depending upon the context. Followed by oxidizing the substrate by FAD to create the corresponding imine that's subsequently hydrolyzed.

Acts as a corepressor by mediating demethylation of H3K4me, a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation. May play a role in the repression of neuronal genes.
