Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables mRNA (N6-adenosine)-methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including RNA metabolic process; forebrain radial glial cell differentiation; and mRNA destabilization. Part of RNA N6-methyladenosine methyltransferase complex. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; genitourinary system; hindlimb; intestine; and liver. Orthologous to human METTL3 (methyltransferase 3, N6-adenosine-methyltransferase complex catalytic subunit).
