Summary
Enables site-specific DNA-methyltransferase (adenine-specific) activity. Involved in DNA methylation on adenine and regulation of chromatin organization. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Orthologous to human METTL4 (methyltransferase 4, N6-adenosine).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
