Name Phospholipid methyltransferases (EC 2.1.1.17 and EC=2.1.1.71) family
Function Phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.17) is an enzyme that transfers a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to phosphatidylethanolamine to form phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine and S- adenosyl-L-homocysteine. Phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.71) is an enzyme that transfers a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine to form phosphatidyl-N- dimethylethanolamine and S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine. It also transfers a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) to phosphatidyl-N- dimethylethanolamine to form phosphatidylcholine and S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine.
Scope(s) Eukaryota
Example(s) Q08388 (PEMT_RAT);

FUNCTIONCatalyzes three sequential methylation reactions of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) by AdoMet, thereby producing phosphatidylcholine (PC).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N-methylethanolamine + S- adenosyl-L-methionine = 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N,N- dimethylethanolamine + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:32735, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:64572, ChEBI:CHEBI:64573; EC=2.1.1.71;
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N,N-dimethylethanolamine + S- adenosyl-L-methionine = a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:32739, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:57643, ChEBI:CHEBI:57856, ChEBI:CHEBI:59789, ChEBI:CHEBI:64572;
