CARNMT1 - carnosine N-methyltransferase 1 Gene
Also Known as C9orf41; UPF0586
Species: Homo sapiens
About CARNMT1
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants) and 203 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in thyroid (RPKM 5.8), testis (RPKM 4.9) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a methyltransferase that converts carnosine to anserine, a dipeptide found abundantly in skeletal muscle. The encoded protein can methylate Other dipeptides as well. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
