Fto - fat mass and obesity associated Gene
Also Known as mKIAA1752
Species: Mus musculus
About Fto
This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and is associated with 54 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in cerebellum adult (RPKM 31.5), whole brain E14.5 (RPKM 3.4) and 28 other tissues.
Summary
Enables DNA-N1-methyladenine dioxygenase activity; oxidative DNA demethylase activity; and oxidative RNA demethylase activity. Involved in several processes, including nucleic acid metabolic process; regulation of respiratory system process; and regulation of white fat cell proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; lung; and salivary gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human FTO (FTO alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
