Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables N6-methyladenosine-containing RNA reader activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression; and regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in brain; future spinal cord; intestine; liver; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer. Orthologous to human YTHDF1 (YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein F1).
