In enzymology, a tocopherol O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.95) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- S-adenosyl-L-methionine + gamma-tocopherol S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + alpha-tocopherol
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and gamma-tocopherol, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and alpha-tocopherol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:gamma-tocopherol 5-O-methyltransferase. This enzyme is also called gamma-tocopherol methyltransferase. This enzyme participates in biosynthesis of steroids.
