Enzyme Information

1.14.11.53
mRNA N(6)-methyladenine demethylase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9C0B1
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.
1.14.11.-
With 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and incorporation of one atom each of oxygen into both donors.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9C0B1
