Background
This gene is a nuclear protein of the AlkB related non-haem iron and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase superfamily but the exact physiological function of this gene is not known. Other non-heme iron enzymes function to reverse alkylated DNA and RNA damage by oxidative demethylation. Studies in mice and humans indicate a role in nervous and cardiovascular systems and a strong association with body mass index, obesity risk, and type 2 diabetes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011],
Function
function:The precise function of this protein remains to be determined.,polymorphism:At least one intronic variation within the gene predisposes to childhood and adult obesity.,similarity:Belongs to the fto family.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed, with relatively high expression in adrenal glands and brain; especially in hypothalamus and pituitary.,
