    Summary
    Enables rRNA (cytosine-C5-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in assembly of large subunit precursor of preribosome; maturation of LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); and rRNA base methylation. Located in nucleolus. Part of preribosome, large subunit precursor. Used to study cancer. Orthologous to human NOP2 (NOP2 nucleolar protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
