Kdm4d mutant mice show impaired sperm motility and subfertility

Regulation of gene expression through histone modifications underlies cell homeostasis and differentiation.Kdm4d and Kdm4dl exhibit a high degree of similarity and demethylate H3K9me3.However, the physiological functions of these proteins remain unclear.In this study, we generated Kdm4dl mutant mice and found that Kdm4dl was dispensable for mouse d
