alkb-8 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable tRNA (carboxymethyluridine(34)-5-O)-methyltransferase activity and tRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in tRNA methylation and tRNA wobble uridine modification. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; egg-laying apparatus; intestinal cell; pharyngeal muscle cell; and somatic gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 71. Is an ortholog of human ALKBH8 (alkB homolog 8, tRNA methyltransferase).
