Description
Fat mass and obesity-associated protein. Computer illustration of a fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO, purple and orange) bound to a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, yellow-orange). The FTO protein shows high similarity with the enzyme AlkB which oxidatively demethylates DNA. Recent studies have associated the FTO gene with the risk of obesity.
