2.1.1.277 |
Accepted name: |
anthranilate O-methyltransferase |
Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + anthranilate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + O-methyl anthranilate |
Other name(s): |
AAMT |
Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:anthranilate O-methyltransferase |
Comments: |
In the plant maize (Zea mays), the isoforms AAMT1 and AAMT2 are specific for anthranilate while AAMT3 also has the activity of EC 2.1.1.273, benzoate methyltransferase. |
