Synonyms | PEMPT, PNMT |
Function | Catalyzes the three sequential steps of the methylation pathway for the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a critical and essential component for membrane structure (PubMed:12431977, PubMed:15927961). Uses S-adenosylmethionine (S-adenosyl-L-methionine, SAM or AdoMet) as the methyl group donor for the methylation of phosphatidylethanolamine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine, PE) to phosphatidylmonomethylethanolamine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3- phospho-N-methylethanolamine, PMME), PMME to phosphatidyldimethylethanolamine (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-N,N- dimethylethanolamine, PDME), and PDME to phosphatidylcholine (1,2- diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, PC), producing S-adenosyl-L- homocysteine in each step (PubMed:12431977, PubMed:15927961). Responsible for approximately 30% of hepatic PC with the CDP-choline pathway accounting for the other 70% (Probable). |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum. Note=localized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the liver and in a lipid metabolism-rich region of the ER known as mitochondria-associated membranes (PubMed:15927961) Adopts a topography within the ER membrane that positions both termini in the cytosol (PubMed:12431977). [Isoform 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03216} |
Tissue Location | Primarily expressed in liver (at protein level). |

Background
This gene encodes an enzyme which converts phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine by sequential methylation in the liver. The protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria-associated membranes. The gene is within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Alternate splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms.
