Anti-N-terminal Xaa-Pro-Lys N-methyltransferase 2 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the NTMT2 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 283 amino acid residues and a mass of 32.4 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the nucleus. A member of the NTM1 protein family, it is reported to be an alpha N-methyltransferase that methylates the N-terminus of target proteins containing the N-terminal motif [Ala/Pro/Ser]-Pro-Lys when the initiator Met is cleaved. Other names for this target antigen include alpha N-terminal protein methyltransferase 1B, methyltransferase like 11B, methyltransferase-like protein 11B, and X-Pro-Lys N-terminal protein methyltransferase 1B. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species.
