Inositol 4-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.129) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction
This is a methylation reaction in which inositol (myo-inositol) is converted to ononitol. The methyl group comes from the cofactor, S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), which becomes S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH). The enzyme has been characterised from Mesembryanthemum crystallinum and Vigna umbellata.[1][2]
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:1D-myo-inositol 4-methyltransferase. Other names in common use include myo-inositol 4-O-methyltransferase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine:myo-inositol 4-O-methyltransferase, and myo-inositol 6-O-methyltransferase.[3]
