| PF12934 | FTO C-terminal domain | domain |
This domain is found at the C-terminus of the FTO protein which was shown to be associated with increased BMI and obesity risk in humans. The N-terminal domain of this protein is a DNA demethylase and this domain is found to associate with the N-terminal domain in the crystal structure [1]. This domain is alpha helical with three helices that form a bundle [1].
