Gene information for PEMT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10400
Official gene symbolPEMT
Full namephosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase
Aliases,MGC2483,PEAMT,PEMPT,PEMT2,PNMT,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme which converts phosphatidylethanolamine to phosphatidylcholine by sequential methylation in the liver. The protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria-associated membranes. The gene is within the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17. Alternate splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
