Function | Thiol S-methyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to alkyl and phenolic thiol- containing acceptor substrates. Together with TMT1B accounts for most of S-thiol methylation activity in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes. Selectively methylates S-centered nucleophiles from metabolites such as hydrogen sulfide and dithiothreitol. |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q562C4}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q562C4}. Lipid droplet {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q562C4}. Microsome. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Note=Highly concentrated in the perinuclear area of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and surrounding lipid droplets. May be associated with the specific regions of the LR that form lipid droplets and targeted to the initial deposits of lipids where the lipid droplets form. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q562C4} |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the liver. |

Background
MettL7B Antibody: MettL7B belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. It is a probable methyltransferase. Methyltransferase is a type of transferase enzyme which transfers a methyl group from a donor to an acceptor. Often methylation occurs on nucleic bases in DNA or amino acids in protein structures. DNA methylation is often utilized to silence and regulate genes without changing the original DNA sequence. DNA methylation may be necessary for normal growth from embryonic stages in mammals. When mutant embryonic stem cells lacking the murine DNA methyltransferase gene were introduced to a germline of mice they caused a recessive lethal phenotype. Methylation may also be linked to cancer development as methylation of tumor suppressor genes promotes tumorgenesis and metastasis.
