Summary
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mRNA methylation and regulation of alternative mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to act upstream of or within RNA splicing and mRNA processing. Located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Part of RNA N6-methyladenosine methyltransferase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; embryo mesoderm; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver. Orthologous to human WTAP (WT1 associated protein).

Expression
Ubiquitous expression in CNS E11.5 (RPKM 10.9), CNS E18 (RPKM 10.6) and 28 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks two exons and its transcription extends past a splice site that is used in variant 1, resulting in an immediate translation termination and a different 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform b which is C-terminal truncated, compared to isoform a. Variants 2 and 3 encode the same isoform b.
