In enzymology, a tocopherol O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.95) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + gamma-tocopherol S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + alpha-tocopherol

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and gamma-tocopherol, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and alpha-tocopherol.

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:gamma-tocopherol 5-O-methyltransferase. This enzyme is also called gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase. This enzyme participates in biosynthesis of steroids.

Protein L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase , also called S-adenosyl-L-methionine:protein-L-isoaspartate O-methyltransferase, is an enzyme which recognizes and catalyzes the repair of damaged L-isoaspartyl and D-aspartyl groups in proteins. It is a highly conserved enzyme which is present in nearly all eukaryotes, archaebacteria, and Gram-negative eubacteria.
