| Accepted name: |
nicotinate methyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + nicotinate = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + methyl nicotinate |
| Glossary: |
methyl nicotinate = nicitinic acid methyl ester |
| Other name(s): |
NaMT1 |
| Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:nicotinate O-methyltransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme has been characterized from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The product, methyl nicotinate, is involved in the transport of nicotinate to different parts of the plant. |
