About Nsun2

Summary

Predicted to enable mRNA (cytidine-5-)-methyltransferase activity; tRNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase activity; and tRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including RNA methylation; 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 non-syndromic intellectual disability. Orthologous to human NSUN2 (NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 2).
