- Phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase
In
enzymology , a phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase (EC number|2.1.1.103) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :S-adenosyl-L-methionine + ethanolamine phosphate S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N-methylethanolamine phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and
ethanolamine phosphate , whereas its two products areS-adenosylhomocysteine andN-methylethanolamine phosphate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:ethanolamine-phosphate N-methyltransferase. This enzyme is also called phosphoethanolamine methyltransferase. This enzyme participates inglycerophospholipid metabolism .References
