Methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3), an RNA methyltransferase, is a member of the class I methyltransferase (MTase) family and contains the MTase domain. The METTL3 gene is mapped to human chromosome 14q11.2.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human METTL3
Application
Anti-METTL3 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.[1]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Methyltransferase like 3 (METTL3) is part of methyltransferase systems that mediates the m6methyladenosine modifications. It exists as a heterodimeric complex with METTL14. An elevated expression of METTL3 is observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Mutations in the METTL3 gene are implicated in autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and neuroblastoma. It may function as a tumor-suppresser in colorectal cancer.

Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), a predominantly catalytic enzyme in the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methyltransferase system, is dysregulated and plays a dual role (oncogene or tumor suppressor) in different human cancers. The expression and pro- or anticancer role of METTL3 in different cancers

Neuroblastoma ranks as the most commonly seen and deadly solid tumour in infancy. The aberrant activity of m6 A-RNA methyltransferase METTL3 is involved in human cancers. Therefore, functional genetic variants in the METTL3 gene may contribute to neuroblastoma risk. In
Chemical modifications of RNA have essential roles in a vast range of cellular processes. N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) is an abundant internal modification in messenger RNA and long non-coding RNA that can be dynamically added and removed by RNA methyltransferases (MTases) and
Faithful genome integrity maintenance plays an essential role in cell survival. Here, we identify the RNA demethylase ALKBH5 as a key regulator that protects cells from DNA damage and apoptosis during reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced stress. We find that ROS
