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 7.3.0) Enables mRNA m(6)A methyltransferase activity. Involved in RNA methylation; mRNA catabolic 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] |
