LCMT2 - leucine carboxyl methyltransferase 2 Gene
Also Known as PPM2; TYW4
Species: Homo sapiens
About LCMT2
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 152 orthologues and 1 paralogue.
Summary
The protein encoded by this intronless gene belongs to the highly variable methyltransferase superfamily. This gene is the inferred homolog of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae carboxymethyltransferase gene PPM2 that is essential for the synthesis of the hypermodified guanosine Wybutosine (yW).
