Facts about N6-adenosine-methyltransferase non-catalytic subunit.
N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which occurs at the 5'-[AG]GAC-3' consensus websites of some mRNAs, plays a role in mRNA stability and processing (PubMed:24316715, PubMed:24407421, PubMed:25719671). M6A acts as a key regulator of mRNA stability by promoting mRNA destabilization and degradation (By similarity).
