Protein
EEF1A lysine methyltransferase 3
Function
Protein-lysine methyltransferase that selectively methylates EEF1A1 and EEF1A2 at 'Lys-165' in an aminoacyl-tRNA and GTP-dependent manner. EEF1A1 methylation by EEF1AKMT3 is dynamic as well as inducible by stress conditions, such as ER-stress, and plays a regulatory role on mRNA translation.
Similarity
Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. METTL21 family.
