General Information

EC Number General Information Comment Organism
2.1.1.1 physiological function ortholog ANMT-1 competes with the methyltransferase LCMT-1 for methyl groups from S-adenosyl methionine. Thereby, it regulates the catalytic capacities of LCMT-1, targeting NPRL-2, a regulator of autophagy. During aging, high neuronal ANMT-1 activity induce autophagy via NPRL-2. In younger animals, ANMT-1 activity disturbs neuronal homeostasis and dopamine signaling, causing abnormal behavior Caenorhabditis elegans
