ENTRY EC 2.1.1.116
NAME 3'-Hydroxy-N-methyl-(S)-coclaurine 4'-O-methyltrandferase
CLASS Transferases
Transferring one-carbon groups
Methyltransferases
REACTION S-Adenosyl-L-methionine + 3'-Hydroxy-N-methyl-(S)-coclaurine =
S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine + (S)-Reticuline
SUBSTRATE S-Adenosyl-L-methionine
3'-Hydroxy-N-methyl-(S)-coclaurine
PRODUCT S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine
(S)-Reticuline
COMMENT Involved in Isoquinoline alkaloid metabolism in plants.
Has also been shown to catalyse the methylation of (R,S)-
Laudanosoline, (S)-3'-Hysroxycoclaurine and (R,S)-7-O-
Methylnoraudanosine.
