Leucine carboxyl methyltransferase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the LCMT2 gene. ^{[5] [6] [7]}

The protein encoded by this intronless gene belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily and acts as a G₁/S and G₂/M phase checkpoint regulator. It has been hypothesized that cigarette smoke-induced oxidative stress and transforming growth factor beta 1 may inhibit cellular proliferation by modulating the expression of this protein. ^[7]
