Structural highlights
FunctionYTHD2_HUMAN Specifically recognizes and binds N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-containing RNAs. M6A is a modification present at internal sites of mRNAs and some non-coding RNAs and plays a role in the efficiency of mRNA splicing, processing and stability. Acts as a regulator of mRNA stability: binding to m6A-containing mRNAs results in the localization of to mRNA decay sites, such as processing bodies (P-bodies), leading to mRNA degradation.[1] [2] References
