ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.129

Accepted Name
inositol 4-methyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
myo-inositol 4-O-methyltransferase
myo-inositol 6-O-methyltransferase
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:myo-inositol 4-O-methyltransferase
Reaction catalysed
myo-inositol + S-adenosyl-L-methionine <=> 1D-4-O-methyl-myo-inositol + H(+) + S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme from Vigna umbellata is highly specific for S-adenosyl-L- methionine.
  • The enzyme also methylates 1L-1,2,4/3,5-cyclohexanepentol, 2,4,6/3,5- pentahydroxycyclohexanone, D,L-2,3,4,6/5-pentacyclohexanone and 2,2'-anhydro-2-C-hydroxymethyl-myo-inositol, but at lower rates than that of myo-inositol.
  • Formerly EC 2.1.1.134.
