Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.

| 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
PEMT is 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.
