Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP13591
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Carnosine N-methyltransferase
Synonyms Not Available
Gene Name CARNMT1
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function N-methyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of anserine (beta-alanyl-N(Pi)-methyl-L-histidine) from carnosine. Anserine, a methylated derivative of carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine), is an abundant constituent of vertebrate skeletal muscles. Also methylates other L-histidine-containing di- and tripeptides such as Gly-Gly-His, Gly-His and homocarnosine (GABA-His).
