NCBI Protein Information
S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferases superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes a phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase that catalyses the last two methylation steps of the three sequential methylations of phosphoethanolamine (PEA) that are required for the synthesis of phosphocholine (PCho) in plants.

UniProt Protein Name
Phosphomethylethanolamine N-methyltransferase
UniProt Synonym Protein Names
Phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase 2
UniProt Primary Accession #
Q944H0
UniProt Secondary Accession #
Q9LP63; Q9LP64; F4HYI6
UniProt Related Accession #
Q944H0
UniProt Comments
Catalyzes N-methylation of phosphomonomethylethanolamine and phosphodimethylethanolamine, the two methylation steps required to convert phosphomonoethanolamine to phosphocholine. Unlike NMT1, NMT2 cannot utilize phosphoethanolamine as substrate in vitro.
