Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: N/A
- UniProt Summary: Regulatory subunit of the WMM N6-methyltransferase complex, a multiprotein complex that mediates N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation of some adenosine residues of some mRNAs and plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing and mRNA stability. Required for accumulation of METTL3 and METTL14 to nuclear speckle (PubMed:24316715, PubMed:24407421, PubMed:24981863). Acts as a mRNA splicing regulator (PubMed:12444081). Regulates G2/M cell-cycle transition by binding to the 3' UTR of CCNA2, which enhances its stability (PubMed:17088532). Impairs WT1 DNA-binding ability and inhibits expression of WT1 target genes (PubMed:17095724). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12444081, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17088532, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17095724, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24316715, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24407421, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24981863}.
