ENZYME entry: EC 2.1.1.159
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Theobromine synthase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Monomethylxanthine methyltransferase. |
| MXMT. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| S-adenosyl-L-methionine + 7-methylxanthine <=> S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 3,7-dimethylxanthine |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Can also catalyze the conversion of paraxanthine into caffeine,
although the paraxanthine pathway is considered to be a minor pathway
for caffeine biosynthesis.
- This is the third enzyme in the caffeine biosynthesis pathway.
