Anti-METTL14 (N-Terminal Region)

In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide. N6-adenosine-methyltransferase subunit METTL14 is an N6-methyltransferase that methylates adenosine residues of some mRNAs and acts as a regulator of the circadian clock and self-renewal of embryonic stem cells. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which takes place at the 5'-[AG]GAC-3' consensus sites of some mRNAs, plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing and processing and mRNA stability. M6A regulates the length of the circadian clock: acts as a early pace-setter in the circadian loop M6A also acts as a regulator of mRNA stability: in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), m6A methylation of mRNAs encoding developmental regulators, results in transcript destabilization, maintaining the groung state of ESCs, thereby promoting self-renewal of ESCs. Protein function: The METTL3-METTL14 heterodimer forms a N6- methyltransferase complex that methylates adenosine residues of some mRNAs and regulates the circadian clock and differentiation of embryonic stem cells (PubMed:24316715, PubMed:24407421, PubMed:25719671, PubMed:27373337, PubMed:27281194). In the heterodimer formed with METTL3, METTL14 constitutes the RNA- binding scaffold that recognizes the substrate rather than the catalytic core (PubMed:27373337, PubMed:27281194). N6- methyladenosine (m6A), which takes place at the 5'-[AG]GAC-3' consensus sites of some mRNAs, plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing and mRNA stability (PubMed:24316715, PubMed:24407421, PubMed:25719671). M6A regulates the length of the circadian clock: acts as an early pace-setter in the circadian loop. M6A also acts as a regulator of mRNA stability: in embryonic stem cells (ESCs), m6A methylation of mRNAs encoding key naive pluripotency-promoting transcripts results in transcript destabilization.
