Fat mass and obesity-associated protein. Computer illustration of a fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO, purple) bound to a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, yellow). 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.
