Enzyme Information

2.1.1.49
Amine N-methyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt O95050
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + an amine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + a methylated amine.
-!- An enzyme of very broad specificity; many primary, secondary and tertiary amines can act as acceptors, including tryptamine, aniline, nicotine and a variety of drugs and other xenobiotics. -!- Formerly EC 2.1.1.81.
2.1.1.96
Thioether S-methyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt O95050
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + dimethyl sulfide = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + trimethylsulfonium.
-!- Also acts on dimethyl selenide, dimethyl telluride, diethyl sulfide, 1,4-dithiane and many other thioethers.
