Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables broad specificity oxidative DNA demethylase activity; cytosine C-5 DNA demethylase activity; and oxidative RNA demethylase activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA alkylation repair and cell population proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA damage response. Predicted to be located in cytosol; mitochondrion; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ALKBH3 (alkB homolog 3, alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase).
