CDKAL1 (Threonylcarbamoyladenosine tRNA methylthiotransferase) is an enzyme. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
Catalyses the methylthiolation of N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t(6)A), leading to the formation of 2-methylthio-N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (ms(2)t(6)A) at position 37 in tRNAs that read codons beginning with adenine.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.51 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.72, animal model 0.46, genetic association 0.63).
In plain words · CDKAL1 (Threonylcarbamoyladenosine tRNA methylthiotransferase) is an enzyme. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
