About PCMT1

Cytogenetic location: 6q25.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:149,749,695-149,811,421 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 212 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 58.1), heart (RPKM 34.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the type II class of protein carboxyl methyltransferase enzymes. The encoded Enzyme plays a role in protein repair by recognizing and converting D-aspartyl and L-isoaspartyl residues resulting from spontaneous deamidation back to the normal L-aspartyl form. The encoded protein may play a protective role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, and single nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with spina bifida and premature ovarian failure. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]
