Summary

This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring ZNF8 (zinc finger protein 8) and ERVK3-1 (endogenous retrovirus group K3, member 1) genes on chromosome 19. The readthrough transcript is a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is unlikely to produce a protein product [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]

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]"
