Superfamily Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase AlkB-like
Functional Family RNA demethylase ALKBH5

Enzyme Information

1.14.11.53
mRNA N(6)-methyladenine demethylase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q6P6C2
N(6)-methyladenosine in mRNA + 2-oxoglutarate + O(2) = adenosine in mRNA + formaldehyde + succinate + CO(2).
-!- Catalyzes oxidative demethylation of mRNA N(6)-methyladenine. -!- The FTO enzyme from human can also demethylate N(3)-methylthymine from single stranded DNA and N(3)-methyluridine from single stranded RNA with low activity.
