About Fto

Primary_assembly 19: 15,349,696-15,692,083 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026992.1

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues and is associated with 14 phenotypes. Biased expression in Brain (RPKM 136.3), Kidney (RPKM 111.9) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Predicted to enable 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase activity and ferrous iron binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mRNA destabilization; nucleic acid metabolic process; and regulation of respiratory system process. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nuclear speck; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human FTO (FTO alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase).
