Comment typeDescription
Alternative ProductsEvent=Alternative splicing; Named isoforms=2; Name=1; IsoId=Q9C6B9-1; Sequence=Displayed; Name=2; IsoId=Q9C6B9-2; Sequence=VSP_040637;
Catalytic ActivityS-adenosyl-L-methionine + ethanolamine phosphate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N-methylethanolamine phosphate. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00915}.
FunctionCatalyzes N-methylation of phosphoethanolamine, phosphomonomethylethanolamine and phosphodimethylethanolamine, the three methylation steps required to convert phosphoethanolamine to phosphocholine. {ECO:0000250}.
PathwayPhospholipid metabolism; phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis; phosphocholine from phosphoethanolamine: step 1/1.
Sequence CautionSequence=AAG51806.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
SimilarityBelongs to the class I-like SAM-binding methyltransferase superfamily. PEAMT family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00915}.
Subcellular LocationCytoplasm {ECO:0000250}.
