ID   2.1.1.395
DE   7'-O-demethylcephaeline methyltransferase.
CA   7'-O-demethylcephaeline + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = cephaeline +
CA   S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H(+).
CC   -!- This activity is the penultimate step in the bionsynthesis of the
CC       alkaloid emetine.
CC   -!- It is catalyzed by two enzymes isolated from the roots of the
CC       tropical plant Carapichea ipecacuanha, IpeOMT2 and CiOMT1.
CC   -!- The latter also catalyzes the activity of EC 2.1.1.396, but with much
CC       lower activity.
