About METTL23

Cytogenetic location: 17q25.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 17:76,726,041-76,733,881 (from NCBI)

This gene has 15 transcripts (splice variants), 191 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 11.1), thyroid (RPKM 8.5) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene functions as a transcription factor regulator in the transcriptional pathway for human cognition. It is a partner of the alpha subunit of the GA-binding protein transcription factor. Mutations in this gene cause mild autosomal recessive intellectual disability. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
