UniProtKB description:  Dioxygenase that specifically demethylates N(6)-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA, the most prevalent internal modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) in higher eukaryotes (PubMed:24561204). Demethylates RNA by oxidative demethylation, which requires molecular oxygen, alpha-ketoglutarate and iron (By similarity). Demethylation of m6A mRNA affects mRNA processing, translation and export (By similarity).
