In enzymology, a phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.71) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and phosphatidyl-N-dimethylethanolamine.
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:phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine N-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine methyltransferase, methyltransferase II, phospholipid methyltransferase, PLMT, phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine methyltransferase, phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine methyltransferase, phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase I, and phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine methyltransferase. This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism.
Choline is a cation with the chemical formula [(CH3)3NCH2CH2OH]+. Choline forms various salts, for example choline chloride and choline bitartrate.
Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) is a class of phospholipids found in biological membranes. They are synthesized by the addition of cytidine diphosphate-ethanolamine to diglycerides, releasing cytidine monophosphate. S-Adenosyl methionine can subsequently methylate the amine of phosphatidylethanolamines to yield phosphatidylcholines.
N-Acetylserotonin O-methyltransferase, also known as ASMT, is an enzyme which catalyzes the final reaction in melatonin biosynthesis: converting Normelatonin to melatonin. This reaction is embedded in the more general tryptophan metabolism pathway. The enzyme also catalyzes a second reaction in tryptophan metabolism: the conversion of 5-hydroxy-indoleacetate to 5-methoxy-indoleacetate. The other enzyme which catalyzes this reaction is n-acetylserotonin-o-methyltransferase-like-protein.
