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.
