Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 210529 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables mRNA m(6)A methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including RNA metabolic process; forebrain radial glial cell differentiation; and mRNA destabilization. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA N6-methyladenosine methyltransferase complex. Is expressed in brain; hindlimb; intestine; and liver. Orthologous to human METTL14 (methyltransferase 14, N6-adenosine-methyltransferase subunit). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality and decreased histone acetylation. Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in neuronal stem cells exhibit decreased NSC proliferation and premature differentiation and decreased number of late-born neurons.
