Also Known as GDFD; ALKBH9; BMIQ14

Species: Homo sapiens

Gene Type: protein coding

Gene ID: 79068

About FTO

Cytogenetic location: 16q12.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 16:53,703,963-54,121,941 (from NCBI)

This gene has 23 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 7.3), adrenal (RPKM 4.2) and 25 other tissues.

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011]
