Name Alkylated DNA repair protein alkB homolog 8
Description Not Available
Synonyms
  1. Probable alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase ABH8
  2. S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent tRNA methyltransferase ABH8
  3. tRNA (carboxymethyluridine(34)-5-O)-methyltransferase ABH8
Gene Name ALKBH8
Protein Type Metal Binding
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Catalyzes the methylation of 5-carboxymethyl uridine to 5-methylcarboxymethyl uridine at the wobble position of the anticodon loop in tRNA. Catalyzes the last step in the formation of 5-methylcarboxymethyl uridine at the wobble position of the anticodon loop in target tRNA. Has a preference for tRNA(Arg) and tRNA(Glu), and does not bind tRNA(Lys). Required for normal survival after DNA damage. May inhibit apoptosis and promote cell survival and angiogenesis.
