Methylamine-glutamate N-methyltransferase
- Methylamine-glutamate N-methyltransferase
In enzymology, a methylamine-glutamate N-methyltransferase (EC number|2.1.1.21) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:methylamine + L-glutamate NH3 + N-methyl-L-glutamate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are methylamine and L-glutamate, whereas its two products are NH3 and N-methyl-L-glutamate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is methylamine:L-glutamate N-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include N-methylglutamate synthase, and methylamine-glutamate methyltransferase. This enzyme participates in methane metabolism.
