Synonyms: | methyltransferase II, phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine methyltransferase activity, phosphatidyl-N-monomethylethanolamine methyltransferase activity, phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase I, phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine methyltransferase activity, phospholipid methyltransferase activity, PLMT, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine N-methyltransferase activity |
Definition: | Catalysis of the reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + phosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + phosphatidyl-N-dimethylethanolamine. Also catalyzes the transfer of a further methylgroup, producing phosphatidylcholine. |
