PIMT Catalyzes the 2 serial methylation steps for the conversion of the 7-monomethylguanosine (m(7)G) caps of snRNAs and snoRNAs to a 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine (m(2,2,7)G) cap structure. The enzyme is specific for guanine, and N7 methylation must precede N2 methylation. Hypermethylation of the m7G cap of U snRNAs leads to their concentration in nuclear foci, their colocalization with coilin and the formation of canonical Cajal bodies (CBs). Plays a role in transcriptional regulation. Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily. Trimethylguanosine synthase family. Ubiquitously expressed. High expression in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney, liver and placenta. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
