MeSH Heading: Phenylethanolamine N-Methyltransferase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.913.555.500.700
Unique ID: D010625
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010625
Scope Note: A methyltransferase that catalyzes the reaction of S-adenosyl-L-methionine and phenylethanolamine to yield S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and N-methylphenylethanolamine. It can act on various phenylethanolamines and converts norepinephrine into epinephrine. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.1.1.28.
