Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) is a member of the Fe (II)- and oxoglutarate-dependent AlkB dioxygenase family and is linked to both obesity and intellectual disability. Previous research showed that FTO is essential for adipogenesis and energy homeostasis. In contrast to mice with overexpressed FTO, which resulted in obesity, FTO-deficient mice show postnatal growth retardation, reduced food intake, and a significant reduction of adipose tissue.
Additionally, the crucial roles that FTO plays in neurogenesis, learning, and memory may be connected to its function as an RNA demethylase of N6-methyladenosine (m6A). Additionally discovered to be highly abundant in the brain, FTO protein is linked to decreased brain volume in children and the elderly. In addition to affecting the dopamine receptor 2- and 3-dependent control of neuronal activity and locomotor behavioral responses, FTO gene deficiency increases the retention of fear memory.
