Summary: Enables mRNA N6-methyladenosine dioxygenase activity and molecular condensate scaffold activity. Involved in non-membrane-bounded organelle assembly; post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression; and response to hypoxia. Acts upstream of or within regulation of mRNA export from nucleus and regulation of mRNA processing. Located in Golgi apparatus; cytosol; and nuclear speck. Is active in paraspeckles.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
