Type: | Domain | Name: | SAM-dependent methyltransferase SMT-type |
Description: | Sterol 24-C-methyltransferase Erg6 from fission yeast catalyses the methyl transfer from S-adenosyl-methionine (SAM) to the C-24 of zymosterol to form fecosterol. It is involved in the biosynthesis of ergosterol, which is important for plasma membrane structure and function []. Arabidopsis contains three sterol methyltransferases (SMT1, SMT2, and SMT3) homologous to yeast Erg6 [].This entry represents a domain found in the Erg6/SMT (S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM):C-24 sterol methyl transferase) proteins. | Short Name: | MeTrfase_SMT |
