Description

phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase

Gene Summary

Enables phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase activity and phosphatidylethanolamine binding activity. Involved in several processes, including S-adenosylhomocysteine metabolic process; positive regulation of lipoprotein metabolic process; and response to ethanol. Located in brush border membrane and sarcolemma. Biomarker of metabolic dysfunction and alcohol associated liver disease. Orthologous to human PEMT (phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase).
