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.

Specificity:

FTO polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of FTO protein.

Alternative names:

Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase FTO; Fat mass and obesity-associated protein; U6 small nuclear RNA (2'-O-methyladenosine-N(6)-)-demethylase FTO; U6 small nuclear RNA N(6)-methyladenosine-demethylase FTO; mRNA (2'-O-methyladenosine-N(6)-)-demethylase FTO; m6A(m)-demethylase FTO;mRNA N(6)-methyladenosine demethylase FTO; tRNA N1-methyl adenine demethylase FTO; KIAA1752
