General description

RNA demethylase ALKBH5 is also known as Alkylated DNA repair protein alkB homolog 5 and Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase alkB homolog 5. ALKBH5 is a dioxygenase that demethylates RNA, specifically N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA, which affects mRNA processing and export and is needed for spermatogenesis. ALKBH5 has the highest expression in lung, testis, pancreas, spleen and ovary, but is widely expressed across other tissues.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to a region near the C-terminus of human ALKBH5.

Application

Detect ALKBH5 using this rabbit polyclonal antibody, Anti-ALKBH5 Antibody validated for use in western blotting & IP.
Immunoprecipitation Analysis: 10 µg from a representative lot detected ALKBH5 from 500 µg of MCF-7 cell lysate.
Research Category
Epigenetics & Nuclear Function
Research Sub Category

ALKBH5 is the main enzyme for m6A-based demethylation of RNAs and it has been implicated in many biological and pathophysiological processes. Here, we aimed to explore the potential involvement of ALKBH5 in osteosarcoma and decipher the underlying cellular/molecular mechanisms. We

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is widespread in messenger RNAs and increasing evidence suggests the crucial roles of m6A in cell differentiation and tissue development. However, whether m6A modulates the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has not been fully elucidated.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have crucial functions in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of cancers. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification of RNA is an important epigenetic regulatory mechanism in various malignancies. Nevertheless, the mechanism of m6A-modified lncRNA in diffuse large B cell lymphoma

The dynamic and reversible N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification installed and erased by N6-methyltransferases and demethylases regulates gene expression and cell fate. We show that the m6A demethylase ALKBH5 is highly expressed in glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSCs). Silencing ALKBH5 suppresses the
