The spliced transcript isoform of Mt2 represents the major species. A minor unspliced transcript isoform is also detected by RT-PCR, particularly in testes.
Mt2 transcripts are observed in embryos and adult females. The female transcripts are retricted to the ovaries.
Mt2 transcripts are most abundant in larvae, are expressed weakly in embryos, and are not detected in adults.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see GBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

Source for merge of Dnmt Mt2 was sequence comparison ( date:010313 ).
Overexpression of Dnmt2 results in an increase in genomic DNA methylation.
Several aspects of the organisation of the divergently transcribed, coordinately expressed Dnmt2 and CG6712 open reading frames suggest that they are components of a transposon-like element (although each of the two open reading frames appears to be encoded by a single copy locus in the genome at 33C--33D). Dnmt2 and CG6712 are tightly linked and neither open reading frame is interrupted by introns. There is a 12bp inverted repeat close to the 3' ends of both the open reading frames. Sequences homologous to Dnmt2 are present in a limited distribution of Drosophila species. Overall orientation not stated: Dnmt2- CG6712+
Identification: on basis of sequence similarity to mammalian dnmt2 and yeast pmt1.
Potentially encodes a cytosine DNA methyltransferase although bacterially expressed Dnmt2 is catalytically inactive in vitro.
