NCIt definition : N6-adenosine-methyltransferase non-catalytic subunit (456 aa, 52 kDa) is encoded
by the human METTL14 gene. This protein plays a role in the promotion of mRNA methylation.;
NCIt note : N6-adenosine-methyltransferase non-catalytic subunit contains a degenerate active
site that cannot bind donor or acceptor substrates. (UniProt); N6-adenosine-methyltransferase non-catalytic subunit forms a heterodimer with N6-adenosine-methyltransferase
catalytic subunit (METTL3), which is known as the N6-methyltransferase complex. This
complex methylates adenosine residues at the N6 position of the 5'-[AG]GAC-3' consensus
site found in some mRNAs. Methylation of this site regulates mRNA stability, processing,
translation efficiency and editing. (UniProt);
