Facts about Trimethylguanosine synthase.
Hypermethylation of the m7G cap of U snRNAs leads to their concentration in nuclear foci, their colocalization with coilin and the formation of canonical Cajal bodies (CBs). Plays a role in transcriptional regulation.

Ubiquitously expressed. High expression in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, liver and placenta.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus, Cajal body. Nucleus, nucleolus. A 90 kDa isoform is found in the nucleus while a 55 kDa isoform is found in the cytoplasm and colocalizes with the tubulin network.
