Summary: This locus encodes a member of the methyltransferase family, and is involved in chromatin remodeling. Transcripts from this locus can be induced or inhibited by cell stretch and affect cell differentiation in the myogenic or adipogenic pathways. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Additional splice variants have been described in the literature but they meet nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) criteria and are likely to be degraded as soon as they are transcribed.

What's a GeneRIF?

METTL8 prohibits the activation of JNK signaling and enhances the differentiation of mouse ESCs. Collectively, our study uncovers a STAT3 target, Mettl8, which regulates mouse ESC differentiation via JNK signaling.
Title: The STAT3 Target Mettl8 Regulates Mouse ESC Differentiation via Inhibiting the JNK Pathway.
TIP-6 was identified as a new member of the adipogenic cascade.
Title: Effects of the SANT domain of tension-induced/inhibited proteins (TIPs), novel partners of the histone acetyltransferase p300, on p300 activity and TIP-6-induced adipogenesis.

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.
