Summary: Enables protein C-terminal S-isoprenylcysteine carboxyl O-methyltransferase activity. Involved in C-terminal protein methylation; S-adenosylhomocysteine metabolic process; and S-adenosylmethioninamine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic side of rough endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be part of large ribosomal subunit. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum.

data suggest that ICMT regulates glucose-induced Rac1 activation, generation of reactive oxygen species and insulin secretion in pancreatic beta-cells
Title: Isoprenylcysteine carboxyl methyltransferase facilitates glucose-induced Rac1 activation, ROS generation and insulin secretion in INS 832/13 β-cells.
findings suggest that inhibition of isoprenylcysteine-O-carboxyl methyltransferase (ICMT) causes endothelial cell apoptosis by attenuation of Ras GTPase methylation and activation and its downstream antiapoptotic signaling pathway.

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.
