| Function | Oxygenase that can act as both a histone lysine demethylase and a ribosomal histidine hydroxylase. Is involved in the demethylation of trimethylated 'Lys-9' on histone H3 (H3K9me3), leading to an increase in ribosomal RNA expression. Also catalyzes the hydroxylation of 60S ribosomal protein L27a on 'His-39'. May play an important role in cell growth and survival. May be involved in ribosome biogenesis, most likely during the assembly process of pre-ribosomal particles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12091391, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14695334, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15534111, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15819408, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15897898, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17317935, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19502796, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23103944}. |

| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in liver, skeletal muscle, heart, pancreas, and placenta. Not detected in brain, lung or kidney. Expressed in several lung cancer tissues, but is barely detected in the adjacent non-cancerous tissues. Also highly expressed in several esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and colon cancer tissues, and in various cancer cell lines. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14695334, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15534111, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15897898, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19502796}. |
