Open the METTL3 Western Blot GuideFacts about N6-adenosine-methyltransferase subunit METTL3.
N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which occurs at the 5'-[AG]GAC-3' consensus sites of some mRNAs, plays a role in mRNA stability, processing, translation efficiency and editing (By similarity). M6A acts as a key regulator of mRNA stability: methylation is completed upon the discharge of mRNA into the nucleoplasm and promotes mRNA destabilization and degradation (PubMed:28637692).
