General description

N6-Methyladenosine (m6A ) is an abundant modification found in mRNA, tRNA, snRNA, as well as long non-coding RNA, in all species. RNA adenosine methylation is catalyzed by a multicomponent complex composed of METTL3/MT-A70, METTL14, and WTAP in mammals. METTL3 & METTL14 are responsible for the methyltransferase activity of the complex, and WTAP mediates substrate recruitment. Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) and ALKBH5 are two identified demethylases that catalyze oxidative demthylation of m6A. Several functions of m6A modification have been proposed, including mRNA decay, splicing regulation, RNA nuclear export and maturation. (PMID 25171402). Cat. No. MABE1006, Anti-N6-methyladenosine (m6A), clone 17-3-4-1, is a mouse monoclonal that specifically detects RNA molecules with m6A modication.
