Recombinant Human Methionine adenosyltransferase 2 subunit beta (MAT2B)

Uniprot Id

Q9NZL9

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MAT2B

Target Full Name

Methionine adenosyltransferase 2 subunit beta

Target Function

Regulatory subunit of S-adenosylmethionine synthetase 2, an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. Regulates MAT2A catalytic activity by changing its kinetic properties, increasing its affinity for L-methionine. Can bind NADP (in vitro).

Target Protein Families

DTDP-4-dehydrorhamnose reductase family, MAT2B subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed.

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) family. MAT catalyzes the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. This protein is the regulatory beta subunit of MAT. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
