Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables O-methyltransferase activity and RNA methyltransferase activity. Involved in RNA methylation and piRNA processing. Predicted to be located in P granule. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human HENMT1 (HEN methyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knockout allele exhibit male infertility, pinhead sperm, decreased testis weight, ologospermia and asthenozoospermia. Female fertility is normal.
