Alkbh5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable mRNA N6-methyladenosine dioxygenase activity and molecular condensate scaffold activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression; response to hypoxia; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of mRNA export from nucleus and regulation of mRNA processing. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in paraspeckles. Orthologous to human ALKBH5 (alkB homolog 5, RNA demethylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Alkbh5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
