Synonyms
FLJ20772, Trm12, TYW2
Description
TRNA methyltransferase 12 homolog (S. cerevisiae) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Wybutosine (yW) is a hypermodified guanosine at the 3-prime position adjacent to the anticodon of phenylalanine tRNA that stabilizes codon-anticodon interactions during decoding on the ribosome. TRMT12 is the human homolog of a yeast gene essential for yW synthesis (Noma and Suzuki, 2006).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
