Primary Identifier | MGI:1924031 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 76781 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables site-specific DNA-methyltransferase (adenine-specific) activity. Involved in negative regulation of gene expression, epigenetic. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human METTL4 (methyltransferase 4, N6-adenosine). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit sublethality, craniofacial dysmorphism, anemia, decreased leukocyte cell number, enlarged spleen, anophthalmia, and reduced fertility.
