{"symbol":"MAT2B","synonyms":["NBLA02999","SDR23E1","MAT-II","TGR","MATIIBETA"],"name":"methionine adenosyltransferase II, beta","description":"The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) family. MAT catalyzes the biosynthesis of S-adenosylmethionine from methionine and ATP. This protein is the regulatory beta subunit of MAT. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
