EC 2.7.7.50     
Accepted name: mRNA guanylyltransferase
Reaction: GTP + a 5′-diphospho-[mRNA] = diphosphate + a 5′-(5′-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA]
Glossary: a 5′-(5′-triphosphoguanosine)-[mRNA] = G(5′)pppPur-mRNA = mRNA containing a guanosine residue linked 5′ through three phosphates to the 5′ position of the terminal residue
Other name(s): RNGTT (gene name); CEG1 (gene name); mRNA capping enzyme; messenger RNA guanylyltransferase; Protein λ2
Systematic name: GTP:mRNA guanylyltransferase
Comments: The human enzyme is a multi domain protein that also has the activity of EC 3.6.1.74, mRNA 5′-phosphatase.
