Summary: Predicted to enable mRNA (cytidine-5-)-methyltransferase activity; tRNA (cytidine-5-)-methyltransferase activity; and tRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including RNA processing; regulation of mRNA export from nucleus; and tRNA stabilization. Predicted to act upstream of or within hair follicle maturation and in utero embryonic development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including chromatoid body; extracellular exosome; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 5. Orthologous to human NSUN2 (NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 2).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
