Summary

This gene produces a long RNA that is overexpressed in tumor cells. This RNA may promote tumorigenesis by acting as a sponge for microRNAs. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2017]

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]"
