alkbh2 alkB homolog 2, alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase [ Danio rerio (zebrafish) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 569291)
Symbol: alkbh2
Full name: alkB homolog 2, alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Danio rerio
Also known as: si:dkey-65b12.2
Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-N1-methyladenine dioxygenase activity; cytosine C-5 DNA demethylase activity; and ferrous iron binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA dealkylation involved in DNA repair and oxidative DNA demethylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA repair. Orthologous to human ALKBH2 (alkB homolog 2, alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
