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. |
