RG9MTD2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

RNA (guanine-9-) methyltransferase domain containing 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RG9MTD2 gene.[1] The gene is also known as TRM10.[1]

Model organisms[]

Model organisms have been used in the study of RG9MTD2 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Rg9mtd2tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[5][6] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.[7][8][9]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[3][10] Twenty one tests were carried out on homozygous mutant mice and one significant abnormality was observed: males had increased circulating magnesium levels.[3]
