BUD23 BUD23 rRNA methyltransferase and ribosome maturation factor

Gene ID: 114049, updated on 17-Aug-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: WBMT; MERM1; PP3381; HUSSY-3; WBSCR22; HASJ4442

Summary

This gene encodes a protein containing a nuclear localization signal and an S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding motif typical of methyltransferases, suggesting that the encoded protein may act on DNA methylation. This gene is deleted in Williams syndrome, a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at 7q11.23. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found.
