Function and Biology Details

Reactions catalysed:
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + adenine in mRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N(6)-methyladenine in mRNA
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + a 5-(N(7)-methyl 5-triphosphoguanosine)-2'-O-methyladenosine-[mRNA] = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a 5-(N(7)-methyl 5-triphosphoguanosine)-N(6),2'-O-dimethyladenosine-[mRNA]
