Histone demethylase UTY is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the UTY gene.^[3][4][5]

This gene encodes a protein containing tetratricopeptide repeats which are thought to be involved in protein–protein interactions. This protein is a minor histocompatibility antigen which may induce graft rejection of male stem cell grafts. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.^[5]

Interactions[edit]

UTY has been shown to interact with TLE1^[6] and WDR90.^[7]
