Summary

This locus represents naturally-occurring readthrough transcription between two unprocessed pseudogenes, PKD1P6 (polycystic kidney disease 1 (autosomal dominant) pseudogene 6) and NPIPP1 (nuclear pore complex interacting protein pseudogene 1). The individual pseudogene loci are not curated as transcribed regions. Readthrough transcripts likely do not encode functional proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 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]"
