Summary: Enables S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst hatching and sphingomyelin biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; hepatic primordium; liver; lung; and secondary oocyte. Orthologous to human PEMT (phosphatidylethanolamine N-methyltransferase).

fenofibrate partially reversed hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in Pemt(-/-) mice when treatment was initiated after nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) had already been established. Increasing hepatic fatty acid oxidation can compensate for the lower VLDL-triacylglycerol secretion rate and prevent/reverse fatty liver disease in mice lacking PEMT.

Results show that hepatic PEMT protein levels and activity are post-translationally repressed in homocystinuria and correlates with decreased phosphatidylcholine.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
