ALKBH5

Entrez Summary: N/A
UniProt Summary: Dioxygenase that demethylates RNA by oxidative demethylation: specifically demethylates N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA, the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes (PubMed:23177736, PubMed:24778178, PubMed:24616105, PubMed:24489119). Can also demethylate N(6)- methyladenosine in single-stranded DNA (in vitro) (PubMed:24616105). Requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron (PubMed:21264265, PubMed:23177736, PubMed:24778178, PubMed:24616105, PubMed:24489119). Demethylation of m6A mRNA affects mRNA processing and export (PubMed:23177736). Required for spermatogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3TSG4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21264265, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23177736, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24489119, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24616105, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24778178}.
