DTWD2 — DTW domain containing 2

DTWD2 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function

Catalyzes the formation of 3-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)uridine (acp3U) at position 20a in the D-loop of several cytoplasmic tRNAs (acp3U(20a)). Also has a weak activity to form acp3U at position 20 in the D-loop of tRNAs (acp3U(20)). Involved in glycoRNA biosynthesis by mediating formation of acp3U, which acts as an attachment site for N- glycans on tRNAs. GlycoRNAs consist of RNAs modified with secretory N-glycans that are presented on the cell surface.
