Isoflavone 4'-O-methyltransferase
- Isoflavone 4'-O-methyltransferase
In enzymology, an isoflavone 4'-O-methyltransferase (EC number|2.1.1.46) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:S-adenosyl-L-methionine + an isoflavone S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a 4'-O-methylisoflavone
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and isoflavone, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and 4'-O-methylisoflavone.
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:isoflavone 4'-O-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include 4'-hydroxyisoflavone methyltransferase, isoflavone methyltransferase, and isoflavone O-methyltransferase. This enzyme participates in isoflavonoid biosynthesis.
