Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 52686 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables tRNA (cytidine-3-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in tRNA methylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; heart; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to several human genes including METTL2A (methyltransferase 2A, tRNA N3-cytidine). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced 3-methylcytidine (m3C) methyltransferases modification of tRNA. [provided by MGI curators] |
