Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable methionine adenosyltransferase activity. Involved in negative regulation of lipid storage. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in body wall musculature; dorsal nerve cord; and ventral nerve cord. Used to study lipid metabolism disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypermethioninemia and lung cancer. Is an ortholog of human MAT1A (methionine adenosyltransferase 1A) and MAT2A (methionine adenosyltransferase 2A).
