RNA demethylase Alkbh5 is widely expressed in neurons and decreased during brain development

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is one of the most abundant internal modifications on mRNAs and highly enriched within the brain. The demethylation of m6A is regulated by demethylases including fat-mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) and AlkB homolog 5 (Alkbh5). FTO has been shown to play an important role in the brain, but little is known about the expression pattern and role of Alkbh5. Here, we investigated the expression...
