This gene encodes a member of the non-histone lysine methyltransferases. It interacts with its substrate, Kin17, which is involved in DNA repair and replication and mRNA processing. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
Transcription factors with Perturb-seq knockdown data for METTL22. The Binding column indicates whether any binding evidence exists for this TF–gene pair (ChIP-seq or motif footprint peaks). The Mean coef is the average Perturb-seq regression coefficient across active gRNAs (positive = METTL22 upregulated upon KD; negative = downregulated). The Outlier column indicates whether this gene is in the top or bottom 5% of all TF knockdown effects.
| TF | Mean coef | Binding | Outlier | TF→Gene link |

Open chromatin peaks (ATAC-seq) in the genomic neighbourhood of METTL22, linked by TSS proximity or chromatin conformation (Multiome / HiCAR). Each element overlaps at least one TF ChIP-seq binding site — the TFs column shows how many distinct TFs bind that element.
