Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Uncharacterized methyltransferase WBSCR22 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the WBSCR22 gene .[5] [6] [7]
This gene encodes a protein containing a nuclear localization signal and an S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding motif typical of methyltransferases , suggesting that the encoded protein may act on DNA methylation . This gene is deleted in Williams syndrome , a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at 7q11.23.[7]
