PRMT3 protein arginine methyltransferase 3

Gene ID: 10196, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HRMT1L3

Summary

This gene belongs to the protein arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the methylation of guanidino nitrogens of arginyl residues of proteins. The enzyme acts on 40S ribosomal protein S2 (rpS2), which is its major in-vivo substrate, and is involved in the proper maturation of the 80S ribosome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013]
