The complex METTL3/METTL14 is a heterodimer enzymatic complex involved into RNA post-transcription modifications. This complex is abble to add a methyl group on adenosin of the RNA, by catalyzing a m6(A) modification.The N(6)-methyladenosine (m(6)A) is a quite common, reversible chemical modification of functional RNAs which plays a key role in several biological fonctions.
