Mettl1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable internal mRNA (guanine-N7-)-methyltransferase activity and tRNA (guanine(46)-N7)-methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in tRNA (guanine-N7)-methylation and tRNA stabilization. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of tRNA (m7G46) methyltransferase complex. Orthologous to human METTL1 (methyltransferase 1, tRNA methylguanosine). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Mettl1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
