The function of ENSG00000010165 (METTL13, methyltransferase 13, eEF1A N-terminus and K55) is as follows. Dual methyltransferase that catalyzes methylation of elongation factor 1-alpha (EEF1A1 and EEF1A2) at two different positions, and is therefore involved in the regulation of mRNA translation (PubMed:30143613, PubMed:30612740). Via its C-terminus, methylates EEF1A1 and EEF1A2 at the N-terminal residue 'Gly-2' (PubMed:30143613). Via its N-terminus dimethylates EEF1A1 and EEF1A2 at residue 'Lys-55' (PubMed:30143613, PubMed:30612740). Has no activity towards core histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 (PubMed:30612740). .
