Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + guanine6 in tRNA = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N2-methylguanine6 in tRNA
Other name(s): methyltransferase Trm14; m2G6 methyltransferase
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:tRNA (guanine6-N2)-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme specifically methylates guanine6 at N2 in tRNA.
