The protein encoded by this intronless gene belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily and acts as a G1/S and G2/M phase checkpoint regulator. It has been hypothesized that cigarette smoke-induced oxidative stress and transforming growth factor beta 1 may inhibit cellular proliferation by modulating the expression of this protein.[7]
