Description
Full-length recombinant human METTL3/METTL14 complex was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag. The METTL3 and METTL14 gene accession numbers are NM_019852 and NM_020961.
Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3) and methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) form a stable heterodimer core complex that catalyzes N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation in mammalian cells. m6A is an abundant internal modification in messenger RNA and long non-coding RNA. It functions in multiple aspects of developmental regulation, cell cycle progression, cell fate, and the heat shock stress response by affecting aspects of RNA metabolism such as pre-mRNA processing, translation efficiency, transcript stability and miRNA biogenesis
