Background
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the methylthiotransferase family. The function of this gene is not known. Genome-wide association studies have linked single nucleotide polymorphisms in an intron of this gene with susceptibilty to type 2 diabetes. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010],
Function
cofactor:Binds 2 4Fe-4S clusters. One cluster is coordinated with 3 cysteines and an exchangeable S-adenosyl-L-methionine.,similarity:Belongs to the methylthiotransferase family. CDKAL1 subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 MTTase N-terminal domain.,similarity:Contains 1 TRAM domain.,
Protein name
Threonylcarbamoyladenosine tRNA methylthiotransferase
Other name
CDKAL1; Threonylcarbamoyladenosine tRNA methylthiotransferase; CDK5 regulatory subunit-associated protein 1-like 1; tRNA-t(6)A37 methylthiotransferase
