Primary Identifier | MGI:1914743 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 67493 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables mRNA m(6)A methyltransferase activity. Involved in RNA metabolic process and mRNA destabilization. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human METTL16 (methyltransferase 16, RNA N6-adenosine). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit lethality around implantation. [provided by MGI curators] |
