In enzymology, a cycloartenol 24-C-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.142) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cycloartenol S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + (24R)-24-methylcycloart-25-en-3beta-ol
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-adenosyl methionine and cycloartenol, whereas its two products are S-adenosylhomocysteine and (24R)-24-methylcycloart-25-en-3beta-ol.
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:cycloartenol 24-C-methyltransferase. This enzyme is also called sterol C-methyltransferase.
