Sysname
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:trans-resveratrol 3,5-O-dimethyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
2 S-adenosyl-L-methionine + trans-resveratrol = 2 S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + pterostilbene (overall reaction) [RN:R09872];
(1a) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + trans-resveratrol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 3-methoxy-4',5-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene [RN:R09870];
(1b) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 3-methoxy-4',5-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + pterostilbene [RN:R09871]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
S-adenosyl-L-methionine [CPD:C00019];
trans-resveratrol [CPD:C03582];
3-methoxy-4',5-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene [CPD:C20154]
Product
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD:C00021];
pterostilbene [CPD:C10287];
3-methoxy-4',5-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene [CPD:C20154]
Comment
