Phenol O-methyltransferase
- Phenol O-methyltransferase
In enzymology, a phenol O-methyltransferase (EC number|2.1.1.25) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
:S-adenosyl-L-methionine + phenol S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + anisole
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and phenol, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and anisole.
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:phenol O-methyltransferase. This enzyme is also called PMT. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism.
