Arginine methylation is involved in a number of cellular processes, including DNA repair, RNA transcription, signal transduction, protein compartmentalization, and possibly protein translation (Lee et al., 2005 [PubMed 16051612]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] Expression Biased expression in brain (RPKM 5.7), testis (RPKM 0.8) and 1 other tissue See more Orthologs mouse all
