Description
Product Characteristics:
Catalyzes the methylthiolation of N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t(6)A), leading to the formation of 2-methylthio-N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (ms(2)t(6)A) at position 37 in tRNAs that read codons beginning with adenine.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: Threonylcarbamoyladenosine tRNA methylthiotransferase, CDK5 regulatory subunit-associated protein 1-like 1, tRNA-t(6)A37 methylthiotransferase, CDKAL1
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the methylthiotransferase family. The function of this gene is not known. Genome-wide association studies have linked single nucleotide polymorphisms in an intron of this gene with susceptibilty to type 2 diabetes. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
