Anti-TRDMT1

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. Protein function: Specifically methylates cytosine 38 in the anticodon loop of tRNA(Asp). [The UniProt Consortium]
