<P> Fat mass and obesity - associated protein also known as alpha - ketoglutarate - dependent dioxygenase FTO is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FTO gene located on chromosome 16 . As one homolog in the AlkB family proteins , it is the first mRNA demethylase that has been identified . Certain variants of the FTO gene appear to be correlated with obesity in humans . </P>
