    Summary
    Enables tRNA (cytidine-3-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in tRNA methylation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; heart; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to several human genes including METTL2A (methyltransferase 2A, tRNA N3-cytidine). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
