EC 2.1.1.336     
Accepted name: norbelladine O-methyltransferase
Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + norbelladine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 4′-O-methylnorbelladine

Glossary: norbelladine = 4-({[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)benzene-1,2-diol
4′-O-methylnorbelladine = 5-({[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]amino}methyl)-2-methoxyphenol
Other name(s): N4OMT1 (gene name)
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:norbelladine O-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the plants Nerine bowdenii and Narcissus pseudonarcissus (daffodil), participates in the biosynthesis of alkaloids produced by plants that belong to the Amaryllidaceae family.
