    Summary
    Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; regulation of gene expression; and wing disc pattern formation. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA N6-methyladenosine methyltransferase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; ganglia; imaginal disc; larval central nervous system; and ovary. Orthologous to several human genes including RBM15 (RNA binding motif protein 15). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    2. Spenito, a small Spen family member, counteracted Spen function in fat regulation. Finally, mouse Spen and Spenito transcript levels scaled directly with body fat in vivo, suggesting a conserved role in fat liberation and catabolism. This study demonstrates that Spen is a key regulator of energy balance and provides a molecular context to understand the metabolic defects that arise from Spen dysfunction.
