TRMT10A
Description
TRMT10A, also known as tRNA methyltransferase 10A, is a gene that encodes an enzyme responsible for the methylation of specific adenosine residues in transfer RNA (tRNA). This methylation plays a crucial role in maintaining tRNA structure and function, which is essential for protein synthesis. The TRMT10A gene is highly conserved across various organisms, highlighting its fundamental role in cellular processes. Mutations in TRMT10A have been linked to several diseases, underscoring its importance in human health.

Did you know?
TRMT10A is a key player in a cellular process called tRNA modification, which adds chemical modifications to tRNA molecules. These modifications are critical for proper tRNA folding, stability, and translation efficiency.
