Lcmt2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable protein C-terminal carboxyl O-methyltransferase activity and tRNA methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in tRNA methylation and wybutosine biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within C-terminal protein methylation. Orthologous to human LCMT2 (leucine carboxyl methyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
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 Lcmt2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
