Primary Identifier | MGI:1913867 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 66617 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein methyltransferase activity. Involved in N-terminal peptidyl-alanine trimethylation and N-terminal peptidyl-proline dimethylation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human NTMT1 (N-terminal Xaa-Pro-Lys N-methyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit preweaning lethality and premature death associated with premature aging, decreased body size and weight, skin thinning, liver degeneration, increased sensitivity to oxidative stress and female infertility.
