Phosphoethanolamine N-methyltransferase

UniProtKB accession:  Q8IDQ9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes N-methylation of phosphoethanolamine, phosphomonomethylethanolamine and phosphodimethylethanolamine, the three methylation steps required to convert phosphoethanolamine to phosphocholine (PubMed:15073329, PubMed:15664981, PubMed:18178564, PubMed:18694927, PubMed:22117061). Has no ethanolamine- or phosphatidylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase activity (PubMed:15073329, PubMed:15664981). Required for gametocyte development, maturation and transmission to mosquitoes and for oocyst formation in the mosquito midgut (PubMed:24145416).
