Summary

This gene produces a long non-coding RNA that is upregulated in colon cancer and other cancers. This transcript promotes cell proliferation and suppresses apoptosis. It negatively regulates the biogenesis of microRNA 145. [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]"
