Sysname S-adenosyl-L-methionine:phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine
N-methyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine =
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + phosphatidyl-N-dimethylethanolamine
[RN:R03424]
Reaction(KEGG) R03424;
(other) R01320
Show
Substrate S-adenosyl-L-methionine [CPD:C00019];
phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine [CPD:C01241]
Product S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD:C00021];
phosphatidyl-N-dimethylethanolamine [CPD:C04308]
Comment The enzyme also catalyses the transfer of a further methyl group,
producing phosphatidylcholine.
