Enables oxidative DNA demethylase activity. Involved in several processes, including meiotic chromosome condensation; positive regulation of double-strand break repair; and positive regulation of reproductive process. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in muscle cell. Is an ortholog of human ALKBH4 (alkB homolog 4, lysine demethylase).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
