Methyltransferase that mediates mRNA cap 2'-O-ribose methylation to the 5'-cap structure of viral mRNAs. N7-methyl guanosine cap is a prerequisite for binding of nsp16. Therefore plays an essential role in viral mRNAs cap methylation which is essential to evade immune system.<ref>[https://zhanglab.ccmb.med.umich.edu/COVID-19/ Modeling of the SARS-COV-2 Genome]</ref><ref>pmid 32200634</ref> | Methyltransferase that mediates mRNA cap 2'-O-ribose methylation to the 5'-cap structure of viral mRNAs.
