Apigenin 4'-O-methyltransferase

Apigenin 4'-O-methyltransferase

In enzymology, an apigenin 4'-O-methyltransferase (EC number|2.1.1.75) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone ightleftharpoons S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 4'-methoxy-5,7-dihydroxyflavone

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and 5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and 4'-methoxy-5,7-dihydroxyflavone.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavone 4'-O-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include flavonoid O-methyltransferase, and flavonoid methyltransferase. This enzyme participates in flavonoid biosynthesis.
