Gene:
methionine adenosyltransferase II, beta
Gene ID:
202425
Symbol:
MAT2B
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) family. MAT catalyzes the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. This protein is the regulatory beta subunit of MAT. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.
