Methylamine—glutamate N-methyltransferase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a methylamine-glutamate N-methyltransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- methylamine + Template:Sm-glutamate NH3 + N-methyl-Template:Sm-glutamate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are methylamine and Template:Sm-glutamate, whereas its two products are NH3 and [[N-methyl-L-glutamate|N-methyl-Template:Sm-glutamate]].
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is methylamine:Template:Sm-glutamate N-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include N-methylglutamate synthase, and methylamine-glutamate methyltransferase. This enzyme participates in methane metabolism.
