METTL3 (methyltransferase like 3), also known as M6A, IME4, Spo8 or MT-A70, is a 580 amino acid nuclear speckle protein belonging to the methyltransferase superfamily, which includes DNA methyltransferases (Dnmt), histone methyltransferases and catechol-O-methyl transferases, as well as many others. Members of this family have enzymatic activity that results in the transfer of a methyl group to and from DNA, RNA or amino acids. Widely expressed at low levels, it is suggested that METTL3 may be associated with nuclear pre-mRNA splicing components. Considered a N6-methyltransferase, METTL3 methylates adenosine residues of some mRNAs. N6-methyladenosine is present at internal sites of several mRNAs, which may play a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, transport or translation. The gene encoding METTL3 is located on human chromosome 14, which houses over 700 genes and comprises nearly 3.5% of the human genome. Produced by alternative splicing events, two isoforms of METTL3 exists.
