Summary: Enables methionine adenosyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within S-adenosylmethionine biosynthetic process and cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Predicted to be part of methionine adenosyltransferase complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; liver and biliary system; nervous system; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung cancer. Orthologous to human MAT2A (methionine adenosyltransferase 2A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

The reproduction of these changes in MAT1A-KO mice, prone to develop hepatitis and HCC, demonstrates the pathogenetic role of MAT1A gene under-regulation associated with up-regulation of the MAT2A gene (MAT1A:MAT2A switch), encoding the SAM synthesizing enzymes, methyladenosyltransferase I/III (MATI/III) and methyladenosyltransferase II (MATII), respectively. This leads to a rise of MATII, inhibited by the reaction produc

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.
