METTL21B is a prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target in low-grade gliomas.
Title: METTL21B is a prognostic biomarker and potential therapeutic target in low-grade gliomas.
Results have shown that METTL21B is a protein methyltransferase that methylates both isoforms of translation elongation factor eEF1A at lysine 165. Also, further data suggests that METTL21B has an evolutionarily important role for the methylation of lysine 165 in eEF1A.
Title: METTL21B Is a Novel Human Lysine Methyltransferase of Translation Elongation Factor 1A: Discovery by CRISPR/Cas9 Knockout.
The present study identifies METTL21B as the enzyme responsible for methylation of eEF1A on Lys-165 and shows that this modification is dynamic, inducible and likely of regulatory importance.
Title: The novel lysine specific methyltransferase METTL21B affects mRNA translation through inducible and dynamic methylation of Lys-165 in human eukaryotic elongation factor 1 alpha (eEF1A).
The METTL21B protein is here suggested to be a protein methyltransferase, as it is shown to belong to a family of 10 human methyltransferases, some of which are shown to have lysine specific protein methyltransferase activity.

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.
