Identification
Name:Protein-L-isoaspartate O-methyltransferase
Synonyms:
  • L-isoaspartyl protein carboxyl methyltransferase
  • Protein L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase
  • Protein-beta-aspartate methyltransferase
  • PIMT
Gene Name:pcm
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in protein-L-isoaspartate (D-aspartate) O-methyltransferase activity
Specific Function:Catalyzes the methyl esterification of L-isoaspartyl residues in peptides and proteins that result from spontaneous decomposition of normal L-aspartyl and L-asparaginyl residues. It plays a role in the repair and/or degradation of damaged proteins. This enzyme does not act on D-aspartyl residues
