EC | 2.1.1.95 | ||||||
Accepted name: | tocopherol C-methyltransferase | ||||||
Reaction: | (1) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + γ-tocopherol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + α-tocopherol (2) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + δ-tocopherol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + β-tocopherol (3) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + γ-tocotrienol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + α-tocotrienol (4) S-adenosyl-L-methionine + δ-tocotrienol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + β-tocotrienol |
