Primary Identifier | MGI:1922672 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 75422 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables rRNA (adenine-N6-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of translation; rRNA methylation; and stem cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including fibrillar center; postsynapse; and presynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 72. Orthologous to human METTL5 (methyltransferase 5, N6-adenosine). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display partial preweaning lethality, reduced body weight, hypoactivity, craniofacial abnormalities, and male infertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
