METTL26

METTL26 is a gene in humans that encodes a protein known as methyltransferase-like 26. The precise function of METTL26 remains under investigation, but it is thought to play a role in protein methylation, a post-translational modification important in regulating protein function, stability, and interactions.

While its specific substrates and enzymatic activity are still being elucidated, studies suggest METTL26 may be involved in modifying specific proteins within the cell. The location of the METTL26 protein is primarily cytoplasmic.

Further research is needed to fully understand the biological roles and potential clinical significance of METTL26. Genetic variations in METTL26 have been explored in association with various traits and diseases, but conclusive links require more extensive validation. Its involvement in specific cellular pathways is an area of active research.
