HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	dTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose reductase family
	MAT2B subfamily

CATEGORY

enzyme , regulatory

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

intracellular

basic FUNCTION	inhibiting the methionine adenosyl-transferase II
	regulatory subunit of the methionine adenosyl-transferase II
	MAT2B and GIT1 form a scaffold, which recruits and activates MEK and ERK to promote growth and tumorigenesis
