Nsun2

Enables mRNA (cytidine-5-)-methyltransferase activity and tRNA (cytidine-5-)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including RNA processing; meiotic cell cycle checkpoint signaling; and tRNA stabilization. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development. Located in chromatoid body. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 5. Orthologous to human NSUN2 (NOP2/Sun RNA methyltransferase 2).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Nsun2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

The most significant associations for this gene, including commonly observed domains, pathway involvement, and functional highlights based on current data.

Locations within the cell where the protein is known or predicted to be active, providing insight into its function and cellular context.
