TRDMT1 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
TRDMT1 
Aliases
DNMT2; RNMT1 
Common name
tRNA aspartic acid methyltransferase 1 
Entrez Id
1787
Description
This gene encodes a protein responsible for the methylation of aspartic acid transfer RNA, specifically at the cytosine-38 residue in the anticodon loop. This enzyme also possesses residual DNA-(cytosine-C5) methyltransferase activity. While similar in sequence and structure to DNA cytosine methyltransferases, this gene is distinct and highly conserved in its function among taxa. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010].
