Gene: FTO
Alternate names for this Gene: ALKBH9|BMIQ14|GDFD
Gene Summary: 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 16
Location in Chromosome : 16q12.2
Description of this Gene: FTO alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
