Background of ASMT antibody
This gene belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily, and is located in the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) at the end of the short arms of the X and Y chromosomes. The encoded enzyme catalyzes the fil reaction in the synthesis of melatonin, and is abundant in the pineal gland. Altertively spliced transcript variants have been noted for this gene.
