About NSUN2

Cytogenetic location: 5p15.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:6,599,239-6,633,044 (from NCBI)

This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 208 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in lymph node (RPKM 14.3), appendix (RPKM 14.2) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a methyltransferase that catalyzes the methylation of cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) at position 34 of intron-containing tRNA(Leu)(CAA) precursors. This modification is necessary to stabilize the anticodon-codon pairing and correctly translate the mRNA. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been noted for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
